The molecular basis of pediatric long chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency associated with maternal acute fatty liver of pregnancy.
31 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial long chain fatty acid beta-oxidation provides the major source of energy in the heart. Deficiencies of human beta-oxidation enzymes produce sudden, unexplained death in childhood, acute hepatic encephalopathy, skeletal myopathy, or cardiomyopathy. Long chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase [LCHAD; long-chain-(S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.211] catalyzes the third step in...
