基因 ACADVL 与疾病

脂肪酸的β氧化是心脏、肝脏、骨骼肌等脏器组织能量供应的主要来源。ACADVL基因编码VLCAD(极长链酰基辅酶A脱氢酶),其活性缺陷时可引起线粒体长链脂肪酸氧化障碍,导致机体脏器能量供应障碍而引发各种各样的症状。已发现100多种ACADVL突变,大多数是点突变,也有大片段碱基缺失和无义突变。

基因摘要 The protein encoded by this gene is targeted to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it catalyzes the first step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. This acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase is specific to long-chain and very-long-chain fatty acids. A deficiency in this gene product reduces myocardial fatty acid beta-oxidation and is associated with cardiomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
