ACADM (acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase C-4 to C-12 straight chain) is a gene that provides instructions for making an enzyme called acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase that is important for breaking down (degrading) a certain group of fats called medium-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids are found in foods such as milk and certain oils and they are also stored in the body’s fat tissue. Medium-chain fatty acids are also produced when larger fatty acids are degraded.
