Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

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).

Subcellular Localization

Mitochondrion matrix.

Disease Associations

Glutaric aciduria 2A (GA2A) [MIM:231680]: 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. {ECO:0000269PubMed:1430199, ECO:0000269PubMed:1882842}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
