DECR1 Proteins and Enzymes

DECR1, also known as 2, 4-dienoyl-CoA reductase, mitochondrial, is a 36 kDa, 335 amino acid protein that catalyzes beta-oxidation in metabolism of unsaturated fatty enoyl-CoA esters with uneven double bonds. Current research is studying the involvement of the protein on diseases and disorders such as arthritis, malaria, dementia, nephropathy, brain disease, tuberculosis, anemia, and cancer. The protein interacts in metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, and beta oxidation pathways with other proteins such as HGS, PRKCE, ESR1, PTTG1, and SLC2A4.
