ACADS, Official Symbol ACADSprovided by HGNC Official Full Name acyl-CoA dehydrogenase short chainprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:90 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000122971 MIM:606885; AllianceGenome:HGNC:90 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as SCAD; ACAD3 Summary This gene encodes a tetrameric mitochondrial flavoprotein, which is a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. This enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Mutations in this gene have been associated with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency. Alternative splicing results in two variants which encode different isoforms.
