Acyl carrier protein (ACP) plays a central role in fatty acid biosynthesis, acting as a molecular "shuttle" that carries, protects, and delivers elongating acyl chains to various enzymatic partners.

Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD), a rare inherited genetic condition, is caused by mutations in the ACADVL gene. It is associated with a disorder in fatty acid metabolism and ...

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is a genetically inherited disorder that compromises the mitochondrial breakdown of medium-chain fatty acids. This metabolic impairment can lead ...
