Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Involved in several processes, including carnitine metabolic process, CoA-linked; fatty acid metabolic process; and glycogen biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including carnitine metabolic process; liver development; and response to cold. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADM (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain).
