EHHADH
Function
Peroxisomal trifunctional enzyme possessing 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and delta 3, delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase activities. Catalyzes two of the four reactions of the long chain fatty acids peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway (By similarity). Can also use branched-chain fatty acids such as 2-methyl-2E-butenoyl-CoA as a substrate, which is hydrated into (2S,3S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoyl-CoA (By similarity). Optimal isomerase for 2,5 double bonds into 3,5 form isomerization in a range of enoyl-CoA species (Probable). Also able to isomerize both 3-cis and 3-trans double bonds into the 2-trans form in a range of enoyl-CoA species (By similarity). With HSD17B4, catalyzes the hydration of trans-2-enoyl-CoA and the dehydrogenation of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA, but with opposite chiral specificity (PubMed:15060085). Regulates the amount of medium-chain dicarboxylic fatty acids which are essential regulators of all fatty acid oxidation pathways (By similarity). Also involved in the degradation of long-chain dicarboxylic acids through peroxisomal beta-oxidation (PubMed:15060085).
Involvement in disease
Fanconi renotubular syndrome 3
FRTS3
A form of Fanconi renotubular syndrome, a disease due to a generalized dysfunction of the proximal kidney tubule resulting in decreased solute and water reabsorption. Patients have polydipsia and polyuria with phosphaturia, glycosuria and aminoaciduria. They may develop hypophosphatemic rickets or osteomalacia, acidosis and a tendency toward dehydration. Some eventually develop renal insufficiency. FRTS3 inheritance is autosomal dominant.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway
Lipid metabolism; fatty acid beta-oxidation.
Post-translational modifications
Acetylated, leading to enhanced enzyme activity. Acetylation is enhanced by up to 80% after treatment either with trichostin A (TSA) or with nicotinamide (NAM) with highest increase on Lys-346. Acetylation and enzyme activity increased by about 1.5% on addition of fatty acids.
Sequence Similarities
In the N-terminal section; belongs to the enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase family.
In the C-terminal section; belongs to the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.
Tissue Specificity
Liver and kidney. Strongly expressed in the terminal segments of the proximal tubule. Lower amounts seen in the brain.
Cellular localization
- Peroxisome
