ID   1.3.8.9
DE   very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.
CA   a very-long-chain 2,3-saturated fatty acyl-CoA + H(+) + oxidized
CA   [electron-transfer flavoprotein] = a very-long-chain (2E)-enoyl-CoA +
CA   reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein].
CC   -!- One of several enzymes that catalyze the first step in fatty acids
CC       beta-oxidation.
CC   -!- The enzyme is most active toward long-chain acyl-CoAs such as C14,
CC       C16 and C18, but is also active with very-long-chain acyl-CoAs up to
CC       24 carbons.
CC   -!- It shows no activity for substrates of less than 12 carbons.
CC   -!- It's specific activity toward palmitoyl-CoA is more than 10-fold that
CC       of the long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. cf. EC 1.3.8.1, EC 1.3.8.7
CC       and EC 1.3.8.8.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.3.99.3.
