UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P40939 (P40939)
Gene Name:
HADHA
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Mitochondrial trifunctional enzyme catalyzes the last three of the four reactions of the mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathway (PubMed:1550553, PubMed:29915090, PubMed:30850536, PubMed:8135828, PubMed:31604922). The mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathway is the major energy-producing process in tissues and is performed through four consecutive reactions breaking down fatty acids into acetyl-CoA (PubMed:29915090). Among the enzymes involved in this pathway, the trifunctional enzyme exhibits specificity for long-chain fatty acids (PubMed:30850536, PubMed:31604922). Mitochondrial trifunctional enzyme is a heterotetrameric complex composed of two proteins, the trifunctional enzyme subunit alpha/HADHA described here carries the 2,3-enoyl-CoA hydratase and the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities while the trifunctional enzyme subunit beta/HADHB bears the 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase activity (PubMed:29915090, PubMed:30850536, PubMed:8135828). Independently of subunit beta, HADHA also exhibits a cardiolipin acyltransferase activity that participates in cardiolipin remodeling; cardiolipin is a major mitochondrial membrane phospholipid (PubMed:23152787, PubMed:31604922). HADHA may act downstream of Tafazzin/TAZ, that remodels monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) to a cardiolipin intermediate, and then HADHA may continue to remodel this species into mature tetralinoleoyl-cardiolipin (PubMed:31604922). Has also been proposed to act directly on MLCL; capable of acylating MLCL using different acyl-CoA substrates, with highest activity for oleoyl-CoA (PubMed:23152787)
