Functional category : Long-chain dicarboxylic acids oxidation

Name : Long-chain dicarboxylic acids oxidation
Description : Dicarboxylic acids are omega-oxidation products of monocarboxylic acids. In mammals, the monocarboxylic acid is omega-hydroxylated by a microsomal P450, then is alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenated in the cytosol and, finally, is shortened in the peroxisome by the peroxisomal beta-oxidation.
