Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: a short-chain 2,3-saturated fatty acyl-CoA + H+ + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] = a short-chain (2E)-enoyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]. A short-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing fewer than 6 carbons. Source: RHEA:47196
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).
