This gene encodes a member of the hydratase/isomerase superfamily. The protein encoded is a key mitochondrial enzyme involved in beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. It catalyzes the transformation of 3-cis and 3-trans-enoyl-CoA esters arising during the stepwise degradation of cis-, mono-, and polyunsaturated fatty acids to the 2-trans-enoyl-CoA intermediates. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
A bioinformatics study in rats identified the ECI2 as a hub fatty acid metabolism-related gene that is upregulated in erectile dysfunction samples and demonstrated high predictive efficacy for disease occurrence with an area under the curve value close to 1 [He et al. DOI:10.1093/sexmed/qfae011].
