| Official gene symbol | ACAD8 |
| Full name | acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 8 |
| Aliases | ,ACAD-8,ARC42,FLJ22590, |
| Gene summary | This gene encodes 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. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial enzyme that functions in catabolism of the branched-chain amino acid valine. Defects in this gene are the cause of isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. |
