ech-1.2 encodes one of two C. elegans enoyl-CoA hydratases/long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenases [EC:4.2.1.17 1.1.1.211] orthologous to human HADHA (hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase/3-ketoacyl-coenzyme A thiolase/enoyl-coenzyme a hydratase (trifunctional protein), alpha subunit OMIM:600890), which when mutated leads to disease.
Predicted to enable enoyl-CoA hydratase activity and long-chain-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation multienzyme complex. Expressed in tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; fatty liver disease; and mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency. Is an ortholog of human HADHA (hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase trifunctional multienzyme complex subunit alpha).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
