ACADSB
Encyclopedia
ACADSB is a human gene
that encodes short/branched chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SBCAD), an enzyme
in the acyl CoA dehydrogenase
family.
It can cause short/branched-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...

Acyl CoA dehydrogenase
Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases are a class of enzymes that function to catalyze the initial step in each cycle of fatty acid β -oxidation in the mitochondria of cells. Their action results in the introduction of a trans double-bond between C2 and C3 of the acyl-CoA thioester substrate...
