| Name : | Fatty acid chain elongation | ||||
| Organism : | Takifugu rubripes | ||||
| Description : | Peroxisome is focused on fatty acid oxidation, but presence of the trans 2-enoyl-CoA reductase (PECR) in chordata suggests that could also play a ROLE in fatty acid synthesis. This enzyme may catalyse the irreversible ACOX reaction. As long as the beta-oxidation is reversible except for ACOX reaction, the presence of PECR could allow complete the reverse beta-oxidation and, therefore, the chain elongation. | ||||
