THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN ELECTRON TRANSFER FLAVOPROTEIN TO 2.1 A RESOLUTION

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 8962055

Disease

[ETFA_HUMAN] Defects in ETFA are the cause of glutaric aciduria type 2A (GA2A) [MIM:231680]; also known as glutaricaciduria IIA. GA2A is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder of fatty acid, amino acid, and choline metabolism. It is characterized by multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies resulting in large excretion not only of glutaric acid, but also of lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids.[1][2] [ETFB_HUMAN] Defects in ETFB are the cause of glutaric aciduria type 2B (GA2B) [MIM:231680]. GA2B is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder of fatty acid, amino acid, and choline metabolism. It is characterized by multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies resulting in large excretion not only of glutaric acid, but also of lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids.[3][4]

Function

[ETFA_HUMAN] The electron transfer flavoprotein serves as a specific electron acceptor for several dehydrogenases, including five acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, glutaryl-CoA and sarcosine dehydrogenase. It transfers the electrons to the main mitochondrial respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase).
