acyl-CoA dehydrogenase /ac·yl-CoA de·hy·dro·gen·ase/ (de-hi´dro-jen-ās) any of several enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of acyl coenzyme A thioesters as a step in the degradation of fatty acids. Individual enzymes are specific for certain ranges of acyl chain lengths: long-chain a.-CoA d. (LCAD), medium-chain a.-CoA d. (MCAD), and short-chain a.-CoA d. (SCAD).
