Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase
Template:Infobox enzyme Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (Template:EC number, fatty acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ambiguous), acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ambiguous), acyl dehydrogenase (ambiguous), fatty-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ambiguous), acyl CoA dehydrogenase (ambiguous), general acyl CoA dehydrogenase (ambiguous), medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, acyl-CoA:(acceptor) 2,3-oxidoreductase (ambiguous), ACADM (gene name).) is an enzyme with systematic name medium-chain acyl-CoA:electron-transfer flavoprotein 2,3-oxidoreductase.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- a medium-chain acyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein a medium-chain trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein
This enzyme contains FAD as prosthetic group and participates in fatty acid metabolism and PPAR signaling pathway.[9]
