Long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase

Enzymes 7,9, and 13 form a trifunctional protein associated with the inner face of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is also associated with other inner mitochondrial membranes while the other enzymes are in the matrix and may be loosely associated with the inner face of the inner membrane. A medium-chain 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase may also be present in the mitochondrial matrix. 

Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and trifunctional protein are the two inner membrane-bound...

Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is an autosomal recessive condition. In the mid 1980s, patients with VLCAD deficiency were initially described as having long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) deficiency. However, without exception, once the VLCAD protein was identified, affected patients were shown to have no detectable VLCAD protein by immunobiot analy-sis or to harbor disease-causing mutations in the VLCAD...
