- Description
- acdh-2 encodes a short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; ACDH-2 is predicted to be a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first step of fatty acid beta-oxidation and thus plays a key role in energy production; steady-state acdh-2 mRNA levels are under the control of the MDT-15 mediator complex subunit; in addition, gene expression studies indicate that acdh-2 expression is downregulated in fasted animals; loss of acdh-2 activity via large-scale RNAi experiments does not result in any obvious defects.
