Gene information for ACADSB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID36
Official gene symbolACADSB
Full nameacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, short/branched chain
Aliases,2-MEBCAD,ACAD7,SBCAD,
Gene summaryShort/branched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase(ACADSB) is a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family of enzymes that catalyze the dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA derivatives in the metabolism of fatty acids or branch chained amino acids. Substrate specificity is the primary characteristic used to define members of this gene family. The ACADSB gene product has the greatest activity towards the short branched chain acyl-CoA derivative, (S)-2-methylbutyryl-CoA, but also reacts significantly with other 2-methyl branched chain substrates and with short straight chain acyl-CoAs. The cDNA encodes for a mitochondrial precursor protein which is cleaved upon mitochondrial import and predicted to yield a mature peptide of approximately 43.7-KDa. [provided by RefSeq]
