ACADL wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ACADL wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q34 and is approximately 38 kb in length. This allele, which encodes long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, mitochondrial protein, plays a role in fatty acid oxidation. Loss of function mutations in the gene are associated with long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

**Synonyms:** - ACAD4 - Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Long Chain wt Allele - Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase, Long Chain Gene - Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase, Long Chain Gene - LCAD - Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Gene
