Gene information for ACADVL (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID37
Official gene symbolACADVL
Full nameacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, very long chain
Aliases,ACAD6,LCACD,VLCAD,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is targeted to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it catalyzes the first step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. This acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase is specific to long-chain and very-long-chain fatty acids. A deficiency in this gene product reduces myocardial fatty acid beta-oxidation and is associated with cardiomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
