Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity; identical protein binding activity; and nucleotide binding activity. Involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; regulation of lipid metabolic process; and temperature homeostasis. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid catabolic process and response to cold. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut gland; heart; and liver. Used to study very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADVL (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase very long chain).
