Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase which catalyzes the conversion of 2-methylpropanoyl-CoA to (2E)-2-methylpropenoyl-CoA in the valine catabolic pathway (PubMed:11013134, PubMed:12359132, PubMed:16857760). To a lesser extent, also able to catalyze the oxidation of (2S)-2-methylbutanoyl-CoA (PubMed:11013134, PubMed:12359132).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY 2-methylpropanoyl-CoA + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] + H(+) = 2-methylpropenoyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]CATALYTIC ACTIVITY (2S)-2-methylbutanoyl-CoA + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] + H(+) = (2E)-2-methylbut-2-enoyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]CATALYTIC ACTIVITY propanoyl-CoA + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] + H(+) = acryloyl-CoA + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein]COFACTOR kcat is 2.0 sec(-1) for the oxidation of 2-methylpropanoyl-CoA (PubMed:12359132). kcat is 4.1 sec(-1) for the oxidation of (2S)-methylbutanoyl-CoA (PubMed:12359132). kcat is 0.83 sec(-1) for the oxidation of n-propionyl-CoA (PubMed:12359132).PATHWAY Amino-acid degradation; L-valine degradation.SUBUNIT Homotetramer, formed by a dimer of dimers (PubMed:11013134, PubMed:14752098). May be part of the large multiprotein complex ARC/DRIP (PubMed:10235267).INTERACTION Detected at comparable levels in heart, lung, brain, skeletal muscle, pancreas and placenta. Weakly expressed in liver and kidney.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.
