Fluorometric assay of acyl-CoA dehydrogenases in normal and mutant human fibroblasts

Abstract

A fluorimetric, ETF-linked procedure to determine activities of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase in cultured human fibroblasts is described. The assay readily distinguishes between cell lines deficient in medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase, and controls, and may allow for the diagnosis of heterozygous carriers of these disorders. The method has been made feasible with the development of rapid and efficient procedures to isolate ETF, and offers several advantages over procedures that are currently employed.
