{"symbol":"ACAD8","synonyms":["ARC42","ACAD-8"],"name":"acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 8","description":"This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family of enzymes that catalyze the dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA derivatives in the metabolism of fatty acids or branch chained amino acids. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial enzyme that functions in catabolism of the branched-chain amino acid valine. Defects in this gene are the cause of isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":27034,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/27034","proteins":[{"symbol":"ACAD8_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/ACAD8_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
