succinate dehydrogenase

Also found in: Dictionary, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

suc·ci·nate de·hy·dro·gen·ase

a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the removal of hydrogen from succinic acid and converts it into fumaric acid; for example, succinate + FAD ⇄ fumarate + FADH2; this complex is a part of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.


any salt of succinic acid.

succinate dehydrogenase
an enzyme of the TCA cycle, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that splits off hydrogen from succinic acid.
