Abstract excerpt
Acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenases (ACAD) are a family of nuclear-coded, mitochondrial flavoenzymes that catalyze the alpha, and beta-dehydrogenation of fatty acids. The eighth member of this family, ACAD8 catalyzes the valine catabolism. In this study, the bovine ACAD8 full-length mRNA and genomic DNA sequence were obtained and its gene structure was determined through alignment of the genomic DNA sequence to the...
