Function
Mitochondrial trifunctional enzyme catalyzes the last three of the four reactions of the mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathway. The mitochondrial beta-oxidation pathway is the major energy-producing process in tissues and is performed through cycles of four consecutive reactions. Each beta-oxidation cycle shortens the fatty acyl-CoA by two carbons, yielding one acetyl-CoA (for the citric acid cycle), one FADH(2), and one NADH (which donate electrons to the respiratory chain for ATP production).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Mitochondrion; Mitochondrion inner membrane
Disease Association: Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency 1 (MTPD1) : An autosomal recessive metabolic disorder of long-chain fatty acid oxidation, biochemically characterized by loss of all enzyme activities of the mitochondrial trifunctional protein complex. The disease phenotype ranges from a fatal form characterized by early-onset cardiomyopathy, cardiac failure and early death to less severe, late-onset forms with myopathy, recurrent rhabdomyolysis, and sensorimotor axonal neuropathy as key features. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Long-chain 3-hydroxyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHAD deficiency) : The clinical features are very similar to TFP deficiency. Biochemically, LCHAD deficiency is characterized by reduced long-chain 3-hydroxyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, while the other enzyme activities of the TFP complex are normal or only slightly reduced. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Maternal acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) : Severe maternal illness occurring during pregnancies with affected fetuses. This disease is associated with LCHAD deficiency and characterized by sudden unexplained infant death or hypoglycemia and abnormal liver enzymes (Reye-like syndrome).

Pathway: Lipid metabolism; fatty acid beta-oxidation
