{"symbol":"ACADS","synonyms":["ACAD3","SCAD"],"name":"acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, C-2 to C-3 short chain","description":"This gene encodes a tetrameric mitochondrial flavoprotein, which is a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. This enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Mutations in this gene have been associated with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency. Alternative splicing results in two variants which encode different isoforms.
