The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab203262, 1/50 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit monoclonal IgG [EPR25A] Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab199091) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

ACADM also known as MCAD (medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in fatty acid metabolism. It weighs approximately 44 kDa and expresses mainly in the liver heart and skeletal muscles. Functions of MCAD involve catalyzing the initial step in the mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation spiral specifically for the medium-chain fatty acids. This enzyme helps in the conversion of fatty acyl-CoA to trans-enoyl-CoA through dehydrogenation.
Biological function summary

The enzyme facilitates energy production by breaking down medium-chain fatty acids within mitochondria. MCAD operates as a homotetramer complex where each subunit significantly contributes to its overall function. Such enzymatic activity is important for providing energy particularly when glycogen stores are low. Its efficient operation during fasting states indicates its importance in metabolic homeostasis.

Pathways

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) is integral to the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. This pathway is a primary route for fatty acid catabolism ultimately leading to energy production in the form of ATP. MCAD's activity also relates to other fatty acid oxidation enzymes like VLCAD (very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and SCAD (short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase) which operate on different chain-length fatty acids cooperating to maintain energy balance.

MCAD deficiency is a common metabolic disorder that impairs the normal breakdown of fatty acids. This condition results in the accumulation of fatty acid intermediates leading to hypoketotic hypoglycemia during fasting periods. Individuals with MCAD deficiency may experience lethargy vomiting and seizures. The disorder connects with other enzymes such as LCHAD (long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) involved in similar pathways and deficiencies can result in related metabolic dysfunctions.

Target data

Medium-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is one of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases that catalyze the first step of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation (FAO), breaking down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA and allowing the production of energy from fats (PubMed : 1970566, PubMed : 21237683, PubMed : 2251268, PubMed : 8823175). The first step of FAO consists in the proR-proR stereospecific alpha, beta-dehydrogenation of fatty acyl-CoA thioesters using the electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) as their physiologic electron acceptor, resulting in the formation of trans-2-enoyl-CoA ((2E)-enoyl-CoA) (PubMed : 2251268). ETF is the electron acceptor that transfers electrons to the main mitochondrial respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase) (PubMed : 15159392, PubMed : 25416781). Among the different mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, medium-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase has preference for fatty acyl-CoAs with saturated 6 to 12 carbons long primary chains, making it but can also catalyze longer chains such as C14 and C16 (PubMed : 1970566, PubMed : 21237683, PubMed : 2251268, PubMed : 8823175).
