{"symbol":"ACAD9","synonyms":["NPD002"],"name":"acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 9","description":"This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. Members of this family of proteins localize to the mitochondria and catalyze the rate-limiting step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acyl-CoA. The encoded protein is specifically active toward palmitoyl-CoA and long-chain unsaturated substrates. Mutations in this gene cause acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member type 9 deficiency. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":28976,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/28976","proteins":[{"symbol":"ACAD9_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/ACAD9_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex assembly factors","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Mitochondrial+respiratory+chain+complex+assembly+factors"}]}
