Summary: Enables medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation and medium-chain fatty acid catabolic process. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult heart; epithelium; germline cell; and gut section. Used to study medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADM (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
