EC 1.3.8.7 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.3.8.7

Accepted name

medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase

Reaction

a medium-chain acyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = a medium-chain trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein

Other name(s)

fatty acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ambiguous), acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ambiguous), acyl dehydrogenase (ambiguous), fatty-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ambiguous), acyl CoA dehydrogenase (ambiguous), general acyl CoA dehydrogenase (ambiguous), medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, acyl-CoA:(acceptor) 2,3-oxidoreductase (ambiguous), ACADM (gene name).

Systematic name

medium-chain acyl-CoA:electron-transfer flavoprotein 2,3-oxidoreductase

Comment

Contains FAD as prosthetic group. One of several enzymes that catalyse the first step in fatty acids β-oxidation. The enzyme from pig liver can accept substrates with acyl chain lengths of 4 to 16 carbon atoms, but is most active with C₈ to C₁₂ compounds [2]. The enzyme from rat does not accept C₁₆ at all and is most active with C₆-C₈ compounds [4]. cf. EC 1.3.8.1, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, EC 1.3.8.8, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and EC 1.3.8.9, very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

History

created 1961 as EC 1.3.2.2, transferred 1964 to EC 1.3.99.3, part transferred 2012 to EC 1.3.8.7
