| Description : |
Enzymes involved in the oxidation of straight chain fatty acids. Here are included:
a) the ABC transporter that allows the fatty acid transport across the peroxisomal membrane,
b) enzymes carrying out the beta-oxidation pathway ACOX1, D-PBE, ACAA1 and SCPX,
c) CROT, which transfers the carnitine to an acyl not completely oxidized,
d) the thioesterases PTE1, PTE2, PTE2a and PTE2b, that regulates the acyl-CoA esterification and control the fatty acid shorting during the beta-oxidation. |
