Facts about Very-long-chain (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 1.
This enzyme catalyzes the dehydration of the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediate into trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA, within each cycle of fatty acid elongation. Thereby, it participates in the creation of VLCFAs of different chain lengths that are involved in multiple biological processes as precursors of membrane lipids and lipid mediators.

Isoform 1 is highly expressed in the myocardium, and to a lesser extent in skeletal and smooth muscular tissues including those from stomach, jejunum, and bladder. Also detected in gingival fibroblasts, periodontal ligament cells, osteoblasts and cementoblasts (PubMed:11054553, PubMed:22067203). Isoform 2 is specifically expressed by cementoblasts but also detected in periodontal ligament cells, heart, liver and kidney (at protein level) (PubMed:22067203).
[Isoform 1]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
