| ID | GO_0004466 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Exact synonym | long-chain-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity |
| Description | Catalysis of the reaction: a long-chain 2,3-saturated fatty acyl-CoA + H+ + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] = a long-chain (2E)-enoyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons. |
| Related synonym | long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase activity |
| Comment | While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283). |
