Gene ID: 24158 | Gene type: protein coding

About Acadm

Summary

Enables several functions, including acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity; identical protein binding activity; and nucleotide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fatty acid catabolic process; response to copper ion; and response to glucocorticoid. Located in mitochondrial matrix and mitochondrial membrane. Biomarker of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADM (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
