Category:GO:0017099 ! very-long-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity

name: very-long-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the reaction: a very-long-chain 2,3-saturated fatty acyl-CoA + H+ + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] = a very-long-chain (2E)-enoyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]. A very long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing more than 22 carbons." [RHEA:19181]
comment: While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283).
