Succinic semialdehyde is oxidized into succinic acid by the enzyme succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, which uses NAD+ as a cofactor. When the oxidation of succinic semialdehyde to succinic acid is impaired, accumulation of succinic semialdehyde takes place which leads to succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.
