General Information
Term short-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity ID (Ontology) GO:0016937 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Catalysis of the reaction: a short-chain 2,3-saturated fatty acyl-CoA + H+ + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] = a short-chain (2E)-enoyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]. A short-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing fewer than 6 carbons.
Also Known As"short-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase" ; "short-chain-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity"
