Abstract excerpt
Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) is a critical enzyme in mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation, catalyzing the initial dehydrogenation of short-chain acyl-CoAs. Mutations in the ACADS gene cause SCAD deficiency (SCADD), a disorder with remarkably heterogeneous clinical presentation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying substrate specificity and the pathogenicity of most ACADS variants remain...
