Rabbit anti-Human ACADVL Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P49748

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ACADVL

Target Full Name

Very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, mitochondrial

Target Function

Very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is one of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases that catalyze the first step of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation, an aerobic process breaking down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA and allowing the production of energy from fats. 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. Among the different mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase acts specifically on acyl-CoAs with saturated 12 to 24 carbons long primary chains.

Target Involvement

Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase very long-chain deficiency (ACADVLD)

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.; [Isoform 2]: Mitochondrion inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family

Target Synonyms

ACAD 6; ACAD6; ACADV_HUMAN; Acadvl; Acyl CoA dehydrogenase very long chain; Acyl Coenzyme A dehydrogenase very long chain; LCACD; mitochondrial; Very long chain specific acyl CoA dehydrogenase; Very long chain specific acyl CoA dehydrogenase mitochondrial; Very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; VLCAD

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is targeted to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it catalyzes the first step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. This acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase is specific to long-chain and very-long-chain fatty acids. A deficiency in this gene product reduces myocardial fatty acid beta-oxidation and is associated with cardiomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
