The HADHA protein also called hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase trifunctional multienzyme complex subunit alpha is an essential component of the mitochondrial trifunctional protein complex. This protein has a molecular mass of about 79 kDa and is expressed mainly in tissues with high fatty acid oxidation rates like liver heart and muscle. HADHA plays a significant role in the beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids acting on hydroxyacyl-CoA substrates during this critical metabolic process.
Biological function summary
HADHA is a part of the mitochondrial trifunctional protein complex which consists of four alpha and four beta subunits. It facilitates the hydration of enoyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA and the subsequent dehydrogenation to 3-ketoacyl-CoA. This enzyme works closely with its partner the HADHB protein to carry out these reactions efficiently. These functions are important for energy production as they are steps in the breakdown of fatty acids necessary for ATP generation.
Pathways
HADHA participates in the mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathway an essential pathway for energy production from fats. Alongside HADHB it catalyzes key reactions that allow the progressive shortening of fatty acid chains which further feeds into the citric acid cycle. This pathway links HADHA not only to HADHB but also to other enzymes involved in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis including medium-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) reflecting its role in comprehensive metabolic networks.
Defects in HADHA are associated with mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency and long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Both disorders disrupt normal fatty acid oxidation leading to a spectrum of symptoms including hypoketotic hypoglycemia and cardiomyopathy. These conditions highlight the relationship between HADHA and other proteins involved in fatty acid metabolism such as HADHB further highlighting their collective role in maintaining cellular energy balance.
