The dihydrolipoyl transsuccinylase (KDH-E2) (exactly: dihydrolipoyllysine residue succinyl transferase ) is an enzyme and one of the three components of the ketoglutarate dehydrogenase - enzyme complex , which is indispensable in the citric acid cycle and in the lysine breakdown of eukaryotes and some bacteria . KDH-E2 catalyzes the transfer of the succinyl residue from the dihydrolipoyllysine amino acid residue belonging to the enzyme to a coenzyme A molecule. It thus functions analogously to dihydrolipoyl transacetylase in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH-E2), but has no binding domains for the E1 and E3 units. KDH-E2 forms 24-mers with octahedral symmetry.

A lower production of KDH-E2 in old age or due to mutation may be the cause of neurodegenerative diseases .
