Description
Enables medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation and medium-chain fatty acid catabolic process. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; germline cell; gut section; mesoderm; and visceral mesoderm derivative. Used to study medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADM (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain).

2 Proteins

2.1 Protein Function

Medium-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase that catalyzes the first step of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation, an aerobic process that breaks down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA and allows the production of energy from fats (PMID: 29563254). The first step of fatty acid beta-oxidation consists in the removal of one hydrogen from C-2 and C-3 of the straight-chain fatty acyl-CoA thioester, resulting in the formation of trans-2-enoyl-CoA (By similarity). Electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) is the electron acceptor that transfers electrons to the main mitochondrial respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase) (By similarity). May contribute to Pink1-mediated regulation of fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, through a mechanism that is independent of its acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity (PMID: 29563254).
