α-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase is a Multi-Enzyme Complex Analogous To

Question

α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is a multi-enzyme complex analogous to:
A) pyruvate kinase.
B) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
C) isocitrate dehydrogenase.
D) pyruvate dehydrogenase.
E) lactate dehydrogenase.

Accepted Answer

α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is a multi-enzyme complex similar to pyruvate dehydrogenase in its function and structure. Both complexes are involved in the conversion of a carbon-containing molecule to acetyl-CoA, which is then used in the citric acid cycle.
