Human ACADL Recombinant Protein (N-His) (HB889012)

Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

Long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, mitochondrial (ACADL) is a ~47 kDa protein. Long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is one of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases that catalyze the first step of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation (FAO), breaking down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA and allowing the production of energy from fats. The first step of FAO consists in the proR-proR stereospecific alpha, beta-dehydrogenation of fatty acyl-CoA thioesters using the electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) as their physiologic electron acceptor, resulting in the formation of trans-2-enoyl-CoA ((2E)-enoyl-CoA). Among the different mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity overlaps with that of ACADV and ACAD9, acting on saturated and unsaturated acyl-CoAs with 6 to 24 carbons with a preference for 8 to 18 carbons long primary chains. Plays a primary role in FAO in tissues where it is the main long-chain ACAD expressed, such as the lung, specifically in type 2 alveolar cells (responsible for surfactant production). Probably responsible for beta-oxidation of bulky substrates including branched chain fatty acyl-CoAs and sterol derivatives thanks to its enlarged substrate-binding cavity.
