Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase
Description
Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases ACADs are localized in the mitochondrial matrix. Several ACADs are distinguished: short-chain (SCAD), medium-chain (MCAD), and long-chain (LCAD). ACAD9 is expressed in human brain. ACADs catalyze the reaction
- acyl-CoA + FAD → trans-2-enoyl-CoA + FADH2
Abbreviation: ACAD
