Function

Very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is one of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases that catalyze the first step of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation, an aerobic process breaking down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA and allowing the production of energy from fats (PubMed:18227065, PubMed:7668252, PubMed:9461620, PubMed:9599005, PubMed:9839948). The first step of fatty acid beta-oxidation consists in the removal of one hydrogen from C-2 and C-3 of the straight-chain fatty acyl-CoA thioester, resulting in the formation of trans-2-enoyl-CoA (PubMed:18227065, PubMed:7668252, PubMed:9461620, PubMed:9839948). Among the different mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase acts specifically on acyl-CoAs with saturated 12 to 24 carbons long primary chains (PubMed:21237683, PubMed:9839948).

Activity summary

ACADVL also known as VLCAD (Very Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase) is an enzyme that plays an important role in the breakdown of long-chain fatty acids within the mitochondria. It has a molecular mass of approximately 70 kDa. VLCAD is expressed in various tissues with high levels found in the heart skeletal muscle and liver. These tissues are heavily reliant on fatty acid oxidation for energy production especially when glucose availability is low.

Biological function summary

ACADVL functions within the mitochondrial matrix where it catalyzes the initial step of beta-oxidation by desaturating long-chain acyl-CoA molecules. This enzyme is a part of a larger complex that includes other mitochondrial dehydrogenases contributing to the degradation of fatty acids into acetyl-CoA units. The process is essential for energy production especially under fasting conditions or high-energy demand scenarios such as muscle contraction and cardiac function.

Pathways

VLCAD plays an essential role in the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. It works alongside other enzymes such as ACADM (Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase) to facilitate the sequential shortening of fatty acids which integrates into the Krebs cycle for further energy extraction. This pathway maximizes energy yield from fatty acids significantly influencing cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis.

Associated diseases and disorders

VLCAD deficiencies lead to severe metabolic conditions such as VLCAD deficiency. This disorder results in the impaired breakdown of long-chain fatty acids causing energy deficiency and the accumulation of toxic substances. Symptoms range from muscle weakness to serious cardiac complications. VLCAD deficiency's impact is often assessed in relation to proteins like ACSL1 and CPT2 which are involved in the fatty acid metabolism pathway and are central to effective energy processing in cells.

    Immunocytochemistry image of ACADVL/VLCAD antibody [6A9AF2] (ab110285) stained human HDFn cells. The cells were paraformaldehyde fixed (4%, 20 min) and Triton X-100 permeabilized (0.1%, 15min). The cells were incubated with ab110285 at 5 μg/ml for 2h at room temperature or over night at 4°C. The secondary antibody was (red) Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. 10% Goat serum was used as the blocking agent for all blocking steps. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). Target protein locates mainly in mitochondria.
