2.2.1.5	medicine	deficiency leads to hyperoxaluria, relative decrease in liver biomass	395931	
2.2.1.5	medicine	involved in renal stone formation, decreased activity due to thiamine deficiency may increase oxalate excretion by 35%	395933	
2.2.1.5	synthesis	application of the E1 component of the Escherichia coli 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex in the synthesis of chiral ompounds with multiple functional groups in good yield and high enantiomeric excess, by varying both the donor substrate (different 2-oxo acids) and the acceptor substrate (glyoxylate, ethyl glyoxylate and methyl glyoxal). The enzyme can accept 2-oxovalerate and 2-oxoisovalerate in addition to its natural substrate 2-oxoglutarate, and the tested acceptors are also acceptable in the carboligation reaction	736654
