Description

HACD3 encodes 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 3, an enzyme involved in the elongation cycle of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). It catalyzes the dehydration of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA to trans-2-enoyl-CoA, a critical step in fatty acid elongation. The protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and is expressed in various tissues.

Protein Summary

HACD3 is a 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase that catalyzes the third step of the fatty acid elongation cycle. It is essential for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids (C22-C26), which are critical components of myelin and cellular membranes. The protein contains a conserved HACD domain and is anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
