Protein attributes

Sequence length	926 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the first two steps in lysine degradation. The N-terminal and the C-terminal contain lysine-ketoglutarate reductase and saccharopine dehydrogenase activity, respectively.
Catalytic activity	N(6)-(L-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine + NADP+ + H2O = L-lysine + 2-oxoglutarate + NADPH. N(6)-(L-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine + NAD+ + H2O = L-glutamate + 2-aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde + NADH.
Pathway	Amino-acid degradation; L-lysine degradation via saccharopine pathway; glutaryl-CoA from L-lysine: step 1/6. Amino-acid degradation; L-lysine degradation via saccharopine pathway; glutaryl-CoA from L-lysine: step 2/6.
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity.
Subcellular location	Mitochondrion By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in all 16 tissues examined with highest expression in the liver.
Induction	Induced by starvation By similarity.
Involvement in disease	Defects in AASS are the cause of hyperlysinemia [MIM:238700]. Hyperlysinemia is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by hyperlysinemia lysinuria and variable saccharopinuria.
Sequence similarities	In the N-terminal section; belongs to the AlaDH/PNT family. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the saccharopine dehydrogenase family.
