Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase Family, Member 8 (ACAD8) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family of enzymes that catalyze the dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA derivatives in the metabolism of fatty acids or branch chained amino acids. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial enzyme that functions in catabolism of the branched-chain amino acid valine. Defects in this gene are the cause of isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

ACAD8: Has very high activity toward isobutyryl-CoA. Is an isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase that functions in valine catabolism. Plays a role in transcriptional coactivation within the ARC complex. Defects in ACAD8 are the cause of isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (IBDD). The symptoms of IBDD generally appear until late in infancy or in childhood and can include poor feeding and growth (failure to thrive), a weakened and enlarged heart (dilated cardiomyopathy), seizures, and low numbers of red blood cells (anemia). Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.
