show Brenda entry

EC number

1.3.8.8

Accepted name

long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase

Reaction

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

Other name(s)

palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase, palmitoyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, long-chain-acyl-CoA:(acceptor) 2,3-oxidoreductase, ACADL (gene name).

Systematic name

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

CAS registry number

59536-74-2

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 6 to at least 16 carbon atoms. The highest activity was found with C₁₂, and the rates with C₈ and C₁₆ were 80 and 70%, respectively [2]. The enzyme from rat can accept substrates with C₈-C₂₂. It is most active with C₁₄ and C₁₆, and has no activity with C₄, C₆ or C₂₄ [4]. cf. EC 1.3.8.1, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, EC 1.3.8.8, medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and EC 1.3.8.9, very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

History

created 1989 as EC 1.3.99.13, part transferred 2012 to EC 1.3.8.8
