In enzymology a 2-oxoglutarate synthase (EC 1.2.7.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-oxoglutarate + CoA + 2 oxidized ferredoxin succinyl-CoA + CO2 + 2 reduced ferredoxinThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are 2-oxoglutarate CoA and oxidized ferredoxin whereas its 3 products are succinyl-CoA CO2 and reduced ferredoxin.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor.
