MeSH definition : A ketone oxidoreductase that catalyzes the overall conversion of alpha-keto acids
to ACYL-CoA and CO2. The enzyme requires THIAMINE DIPHOSPHATE as a cofactor. Defects
in genes that code for subunits of the enzyme are a cause of MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE.
The enzyme was formerly classified as EC 1.2.4.3.;
