| Name : | Straight chain fatty acids oxidation | ||||||||||||||||||
| Organism : | Anopheles gambiae | ||||||||||||||||||
| 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. |
