Abstract excerpt
Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is a frequent and sometimes fatal inherited metabolic disorder of fatty acid beta-oxidation. A eukaryotic expression system was used to study naturally occurring mutations in MCAD. The 1263 nucleotide coding region of human MCAD cDNA was inserted downstream of the SV40 early promoter for high-level expression in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Both normal MCAD...
