Add article description

Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.8.9, ACADVL (gene).) is an enzyme with systematic name very-long-chain acyl-CoA:electron-transfer flavoprotein 2,3-oxidoreductase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

a very-long-chain acyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein a very-long-chain trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

This enzyme contains FAD as prosthetic group.
