Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables long-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity and palmitoyl-CoA oxidase activity. Involved in several processes, including carnitine metabolic process; fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid catabolic process and response to cold. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADL (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase long chain).
