description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity; identical protein binding activity; and nucleoside phosphate binding activity. Involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; regulation of lipid metabolic process; and temperature homeostasis. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid catabolic process and response to cold. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut gland; heart; and liver. Used to study very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADVL (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase very long chain). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant animals exhibit mild steatosis, lipid accumulation in myocytes, increased fatigue, impaired temperature regulation, increased susceptibility to arrhythmia, accumulation of long-chain acylcarnitines, and lower free carnitine levels.
