Contains FAD as prosthetic group. One of several enzymes that catalyse the first step in fatty acids beta-oxidation. The enzyme is most active toward long-chain acyl-CoAs such as C14, C16 and C18, but is also active with very-long-chain acyl-CoAs up to 24 carbons. It shows no activity for substrates of less than 12 carbons. Its specific activity towards palmitoyl-CoA is more than 10-fold that of the long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase . cf. EC 1.3.8.1, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, EC 1.3.8.7, medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and EC 1.3.8.8, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, ACADs, constitute a family of FAD-dependent flavoproteins that catalyze the alpha,beta-dehydrogenation of thioester substrates

phosphorylation of VLCAD at Ser586 is inhibited in myofibroblasts, resulting in a significant loss of enzyme activity coupled with lipid peroxidation.Thus Ser586 represents a critical site for VLCAD activity, whose dysregulation might contribute to the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF, a chronic interstitial lung disease, and other oxidative-stress mediated diseases
