ACADVL wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ACADVL wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13.1 and is approximately 8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes very long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, mitochondrial protein, is involved in the desaturation of long- and very long-chain fatty acids. Loss of function mutations in the gene are associated with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

**Synonyms:** - ACAD6 - Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Very Long Chain wt Allele - Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase, Very Long Chain Gene - Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase, Very Long Chain Gene - LCACD - VLCAD
