| Name | medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity |
| ID | GO_0070991 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Exact synonym | MCAD activity |
| Description | Catalysis of the reaction: a medium-chain 2,3-saturated fatty acyl-CoA + H+ + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] = a medium-chain trans-(2E)-enoyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]. A medium-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 6 to 12 carbons. |
| 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). |
