ACAD8 Human
Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase 8 Human Recombinant

Synonyms:
Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member 8 mitochondrial, ACAD-8, Isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, Activator-recruited cofactor 42 kDa component, ARC42, FLJ22590.

Introduction:
Acyl CoA dehydrogenase is the enzymeused to catalyzethe first step of β-oxidationin Fatty acid metabolism.
Acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenases (ACADs) are a family of mitochondrial enzymes that catalyze the first dehydrogenation step in the bets-oxidation of fatty acyl-CoA derivatives. Several human ACADs exist and all ACADs catalyze the same initial dehydrogenation of the substrate at the beta-carbon atom and require electron transfer flavoprotein as an alectron acceptor. The predicted 415-amino acid ACAD8 protein contains many of the residues conserved in most other ACADs, including an active site glutamic acid residue and residues important for tetramer formation.

Description:
Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase 8 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing amino acids 1-415 and having a total molecular mass of 47.7 kda. ACAD8 contains T7 tag at the N-terminus.
ACAD-8 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source:
Escherichia Coli.
