Etfdh Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables electron transfer activity and iron-sulfur cluster binding activity. Predicted to be involved in electron transport chain; fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; and response to oxidative stress. Located in mitochondrial membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ETFDH (electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Etfdh often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
