Background Information
Branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase E1 component beta chain (BCKDHB; BCKDE1B; BCKDH E1-beta) is a subunit of the BCKDH complex, which is a mitochondrial enzyme in the degradation pathway for branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Together with BCKDHA, BCKDHB forms the E1 subunit of this complex, whereas DBT and DLD are the E2 and E3 subunits, respectively. A deficiency of the BCKDH complex in humans causes maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), a severe neurometabolic disorder diagnosed by the detection alloisoleucine in plasma (MIM 248600).
