Acads - acyl-CoA dehydrogenase short chain

Enables identical protein binding activity; nucleotide binding activity; and oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors. Involved in fatty acid catabolic process; response to glucocorticoid; and response to starvation. Located in mitochondrial matrix and mitochondrial membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACADS (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase short chain).
