Description: | Mammalian Co-A dehydrogenases () are enzymes that catalyse the first step in each cycle of beta-oxidation in mitochondion. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases [, , ] catalyze the alpha,beta-dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA thioesters to the corresponding trans 2,3-enoyl CoA-products with concommitant reduction of enzyme-bound FAD. Reoxidation of the flavin involves transfer of electrons to ETF (electron transfering flavoprotein) []. These enzymes are homodimers containing one molecule of FAD. | Short Name: | Acyl-CoA_DH_CS |
