isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase
i·so·va·ler·yl-CoA de·hy·dro·gen·ase
IVD
A gene on chromosome 15q14-q15 that encodes isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that catalyses the third step in leucine catabolism.Molecular pathology
Defects in IVD leads to a toxic accumulation of isovaleric acid in the brain or isovaleric acidaemia.
