SYNONYMS
Short/branched chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase mitochondrial, SBCAD, 2-methyl branched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, 2-MEBCAD, 2-methylbutyryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, 2-methylbutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, ACADSB, ACAD7, SBCAD, 2-MEBCAD.
INTRODUCTION
Short/branched chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADSB) belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family of enzymes which catalyze the dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA derivatives in the metabolism of fatty acids or branch chained amino acids. ACADSB catalyzes the degradation of L-isoleucine while having the highest affinity for (s)-2-methylbutyryl-CoA, isobutyryl-CoA and 2-methylhexanoyl-CoA as substrates. ACADSB may use valproyl-CoA as substrate. ACADSB gene defects cause the short/branched-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (SBCADD), which is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an increase of 2-methylbutyrylglycine and 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine in blood and urine.
DESCRIPTION
ACADSB Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 424 amino acids (34-432) and having a molecular mass of 46.4kDa.
ACADSB is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
