This gene encodes the medium-chain specific (C4 to C12 straight chain) acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase. The homotetramer enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Defects in this gene cause medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, a disease characterized by hepatic dysfunction, fasting hypoglycemia, and encephalopathy, which can result in infantile death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in mice demonstrated that the ACADM was under-expressed in liver tissue following internal exposure to α-particles from boron neutron capture irradiation of Kupffer cells, endothelial cells, and also following neutron and γ-ray exposures [Roudkenar et al. DOI:10.1269/jrr.07078].
