Summary
This gene encodes a homodimeric mitochondrial flavoprotein and is a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. Members of this family catalyze the first step of fatty acid beta-oxidation, forming a C2-C3 trans-double bond in a FAD-dependent reaction. As beta-oxidation cycles through its four steps, each member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family works at an optimum fatty acid chain-length. This enzyme has its optimum length between C16- and C20-acylCoA and localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane (unlike related acyl-CoA dehydrogenases). In mice, deficiency of this gene can cause ventricular arrhythmias as well as fasting and cold intolerance. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

Comments

Comment Type Description
Catalytic Activity A very-long-chain acyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = a very-long-chain trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein.
Cofactor Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692;
Function Active toward esters of long-chain and very long chain fatty acids such as palmitoyl-CoA, mysritoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA. Can accommodate substrate acyl chain lengths as long as 24 carbons, but shows little activity for substrates of less than 12 carbons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Miscellaneous A number of straight-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases of different substrate specificities are present in mammalian tissues.
Pathway Lipid metabolism; mitochondrial fatty acid beta- oxidation.
Ptm S-nitrosylation at Cys-238 in liver improves catalytic efficiency. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23281369}.
Similarity Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion inner membrane.
Subunit Homodimer. {ECO:0000250}.
