Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityA very-long-chain acyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = a very-long-chain trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein.
CofactorName=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692;
FunctionActive toward esters of long-chain and very long chain fatty acids such as palmitoyl-CoA, mysritoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA. Can accommodate substrate acyl chain lengths as long as 24 carbons, but shows little activity for substrates of less than 12 carbons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
MiscellaneousA number of straight-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases of different substrate specificities are present in mammalian tissues.
PathwayLipid metabolism; mitochondrial fatty acid beta- oxidation.
PtmS-nitrosylation at Cys-238 in liver improves catalytic efficiency. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23281369}.
SimilarityBelongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationMitochondrion inner membrane.
SubunitHomodimer. {ECO:0000250}.
