Acyl CoA dehydrogenase

Acyl CoA dehydrogenase

Acyl CoA dehydrogenase is the enzyme used to catalyze the first step of β-oxidation in Fatty acid metabolism.

Reaction

The following reaction is the oxidation of the fatty acid by FAD.

The enzyme catalyzes the formation of a double bond between the C-2 and C-3. The end product is trans-Δ2-enoyl-CoA.

It is classified as EC number|1.3.99.3.

Proteins

It is made up of the following proteins:

Several of the units are classified by length, and some of those are associated with a particular metabolic disorder:

Other subunits include Gene|ACAD8, Gene|ACAD9, Gene|ACAD10 and Gene|ACAD11.
