NCBI Summary for MCAD
This gene encodes the medium-chain specific (C4 to C12 straight chain) acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase. The homotetramer enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Defects in this gene cause medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, a disease characterized by hepatic dysfunction, fasting hypoglycemia, and encephalopathy, which can result in infantile death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
UniProt Comments for MCAD
ACADM: This enzyme is specific for acyl chain lengths of 4 to 16. Defects in ACADM are the cause of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium-chain deficiency (ACADMD). It is an autosomal recessive disease which causes fasting hypoglycemia, hepatic dysfunction, and encephalopathy, often resulting in death in infancy. Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
