Short/branched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, SBCAD (gene symbol ACADSB
), is a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family of genes with acti
vity toward the short/branched chain acyl-CoA derivatives as well as s
hort/straight chain acyl-CoAs. Southern blot analysis of DNA from a pa
nel of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids localized ACADSB to human chr
omosome 10, and fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments confirm
ed the chromosomal assignment and refined the subchromosomal localizat
ion to 10q25-q26. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
