Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity; identical protein binding activity; and nucleotide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in butyrate catabolic process and fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; liver; lung; pancreas; and placenta. Used to study short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADS (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase short chain).
