EC 1.3.8.5

Accepted name: short-chain 2-methylacyl-CoA dehydrogenase

Reaction: 2-methylbutanoyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = (E)-2-methylbut-2-enoyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein + H+

Other name(s): ACADSB (gene name); 2-methylacyl-CoA dehydrogenase; branched-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ambiguous); 2-methyl branched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; 2-methylbutanoyl-CoA:(acceptor) oxidoreductase; 2-methyl-branched-chain-acyl-CoA:electron-transfer flavoprotein 2-oxidoreductase; 2-methyl-branched-chain-enoyl-CoA reductase

Systematic name: short-chain 2-methylacyl-CoA:electron-transfer flavoprotein 2-oxidoreductase

Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). The mammalian enzyme catalyses an oxidative reaction as a step in the mitochondrial β-oxidation of short-chain 2-methyl fatty acids and participates in isoleucine degradation. The enzyme from the parasitic helminth Ascaris suum catalyses a reductive reaction as part of a fermentation pathway, shuttling reducing power from the electron-transport chain to 2-methyl branched-chain enoyl CoA.
