One of the species transported by ODC is 2-oxoadipate, a common intermediate in the catabolism of lysine, tryptophan, and hydroxylysine in mammals. Within mitochondria, 2-oxoadipate is converted into acetyl-CoA.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004] Expression Biased expression in esophagus (RPKM 5.4), salivary gland (RPKM 2.6) and 13 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
