DescriptionSuccinic acid semialdehyde, also known as 3-formylpropionic acid or 4-oxobutanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as straight chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with a straight aliphatic chain. Succinic acid semialdehyde is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Succinic acid semialdehyde is a potentially toxic compound.

General function:
Involved in 4-aminobutyrate transaminase activity
Specific function:
Required for the degradation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is important for utilization of GABA as nitrogen source and for oxidative stress tolerance. Deaminates GABA to succinate semialdehyde, which in turn is converted to succinate by the succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase UGA2. Cannot transaminate beta-alanine (BAL)
