Long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, mitochondrial (ACADL)
|
UniProt Number:
|
P28330
|
|
Alternate Names:
|
LCAD,ACADL
|
|
Structure and Function:
|
This protein is one of the four enzymes that catalyze the initial step of mitochondrial beta-oxidation of straight-chain fatty acid. Defects in this gene are the cause of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) deficiency, leading to nonketotic hypoglycemia.

|
Disease Associations:
|
Defects in ACADL are a cause of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase very long-chain deficiency (ACADVLD) [MIM:201475]. An inborn error of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation which leads to impaired long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation. It is clinically heterogeneous, with three major phenotypes: a severe childhood form characterized by early onset, high mortality and high incidence of cardiomyopathy; a milder childhood form with later onset, characterized by hypoketotic hypoglycemia, low mortality and rare cardiomyopathy; an adult form, with isolated skeletal muscle involvement, rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria, usually triggered by exercise or fasting.
