ACAD9 acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member 9

Gene ID: 28976, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NPD002; MC1DN20

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. Members of this family of proteins localize to the mitochondria and catalyze the rate-limiting step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acyl-CoA. The encoded protein is specifically active toward palmitoyl-CoA and long-chain unsaturated substrates. Mutations in this gene cause acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member type 9 deficiency. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
