Gene: ACADL
Alternate names for this Gene: ACAD4|LCAD
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, which is a family of mitochondrial flavoenzymes involved in fatty acid and branched chain amino-acid metabolism. This protein is one of the four enzymes that catalyze the initial step of mitochondrial beta-oxidation of straight-chain fatty acid. Defects in this gene are the cause of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) deficiency, leading to nonketotic hypoglycemia.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q34
Description of this Gene: acyl-CoA dehydrogenase long chain
Type of Gene: protein-coding
