Enzyme Information

1.3.8.7
Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.
based on mapping to UniProt P11310
A medium-chain acyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = a medium-chain trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein.
-!- One of several enzymes that catalyze the first step in fatty acids beta-oxidation. -!- The enzyme from pig liver can accept substrates with acyl chain lengths of 4 to 16 carbon atoms, but is most active with C(8) to C(12) compounds. -!- The enzyme from rat does not accept C(16) at all and is most active with C(6)-C(8) compounds. -!- cf. EC 1.3.8.1, EC 1.3.8.8 and EC 1.3.8.9. -!- Formerly EC 1.3.2.2 and EC 1.3.99.3.
