Defects in this gene are a cause of childhood-onset dystonia and optic atrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]. * **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of trans-2-enoyl thioesters in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (fatty acid synthesis type II). Fatty acid chain elongation in mitochondria uses acyl carrier protein (ACP) as an acyl group carrier, but the enzyme accepts both ACP and CoA thioesters as substrates in vitro. Has a preference for short and medium chain substrates, including trans-2-hexenoyl-CoA (C6), trans-2-decenoyl-CoA (C10), and trans- 2-hexadecenoyl-CoA (C16). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18479707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27817865}. |ADH N| |ADH zinc N| |trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH) activity| |fatty acid beta-oxidation| |fatty acid oxidation| |lipid oxidation| |fatty acid catabolic process| |monocarboxylic acid catabolic process| |fatty acid biosynthetic process| |monocarboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |cellular lipid catabolic process| |lipid modification| |carboxylic acid catabolic process| |organic acid catabolic process| |lipid catabolic process| |carboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |organic acid biosynthetic process| |fatty acid metabolic process| |mitochondrial matrix| |small molecule catabolic process| |monocarboxylic acid metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |oxidation-reduction process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |mitochondrion| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp431|Rotenone 0.07μM R08 exp431]]|-2.61| |[[:results:exp102|Nifuroxazide 5μM R03 exp102]]|-2.31| |[[:results:exp241|QNZ 0.01μM R05 exp241]]|-2.11| |[[:results:exp51|Nifuroxazide 1μM R01 exp51]]|-1.95| |[[:results:exp220|BAY-598 4μM R05 exp220]]|-1.76| |[[:results:exp75|MK-1775 0.32μM R02 exp75]]|1.78| |[[:results:exp128|GSK591 2.6μM R03 exp128]]|1.82| |[[:results:exp160|Ribavirin 10 to 15μM on day4 R04 exp160]]|1.89| |[[:results:exp83|Trametinib 10μM R02 exp83]]|1.95| |[[:results:exp78|Pterostilbene 16μM R02 exp78]]|2.62| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:g:glrx5|GLRX5]]|0.434| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 2366 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 4.98 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
