ECI2 enoyl-CoA delta isomerase 2

Gene ID: 10455, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DRS1; PECI; ACBD2; DRS-1; HCA88; dJ1013A10.3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the hydratase/isomerase superfamily. The protein encoded is a key mitochondrial enzyme involved in beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. It catalyzes the transformation of 3-cis and 3-trans-enoyl-CoA esters arising during the stepwise degradation of cis-, mono-, and polyunsaturated fatty acids to the 2-trans-enoyl-CoA intermediates. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
