Background
This gene encodes a member of the hydratase/isomerase superfamily. The protein encoded is a key mitochondrial enzyme involved in beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. It catalyzes the transformation of 3-cis and 3-trans-enoyl-CoA esters arising during the stepwise degradation of cis-, mono-, and polyunsaturated fatty acids to the 2-trans-enoyl-CoA intermediates. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011],catalytic activity:(3Z)-dodec-3-enoyl-CoA = (2E)-dodec-2-enoyl-CoA.,function:Able to isomerize both 3-cis and 3-trans double bonds into the 2-trans form in a range of enoyl-CoA species.,similarity:Contains 1 ACB (acyl-CoA-binding) domain.,similarity:In the C-terminal section; belongs to the enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase family.,tissue specificity:Abundant in heart, skeletal muscle and liver.,
