IVD
Function
Catalyzes the conversion of isovaleryl-CoA/3-methylbutanoyl-CoA to 3-methylbut-2-enoyl-CoA as an intermediate step in the leucine (Leu) catabolic pathway (PubMed:7640268). To a lesser extent, is also able to catalyze the oxidation of other saturated short-chain acyl-CoA thioesters as pentanoyl-CoA, hexenoyl-CoA and butenoyl-CoA (PubMed:7640268).
Involvement in disease
Isovaleric acidemia
IVA
A metabolic disorder characterized by retarded psychomotor development, a peculiar odor resembling sweaty feet, an aversion to dietary protein, and pernicious vomiting, leading to acidosis and coma. The acute neonatal form leads to massive metabolic acidosis from the first days of life and rapid death.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway
Amino-acid degradation; L-leucine degradation; (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA from 3-isovaleryl-CoA: step 1/3.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.
Cellular localization
- Mitochondrion matrix
Alternative names
IVD, Butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase
