NCIt synonyms : VLCAD; Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase, Very Long Chain Gene; ACAD6; Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Very Long Chain wt Allele; Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase, Very Long Chain Gene; LCACD;
NCIt definition : Human ACADVL wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13.1 and is approximately
8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase,
mitochondrial protein, is involved in the desaturation of long- and very long-chain
fatty acids. Loss of function mutations in the gene are associated with very long-chain
acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.;
