ACADS acyl-CoA dehydrogenase short chain

Gene ID: 35, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SCAD; ACAD3

Summary

This gene encodes a tetrameric mitochondrial flavoprotein, which is a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. This enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Mutations in this gene have been associated with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency. Alternative splicing results in two variants which encode different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
