Summary
Enables homocitrate synthase activity. Involved in DNA repair; histone displacement; and lysine biosynthetic process via aminoadipic acid. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder. Orthologous to several human genes including HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxymethyl-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1).

NP_010099.1
  • Homocitrate synthase isozyme and functions in DNA repair; catalyzes the condensation of acetyl-CoA and alpha-ketoglutarate to form homocitrate, which is the first step in the lysine biosynthesis pathway; LYS20 has a paralog, LYS21, that arose from the whole genome duplication
