Functional category : Branched chain fatty acid oxidation

Name : Branched chain fatty acid oxidation
Organism : Ciona intestinalis
Description : Branched chain fatty acids have a carbon scaffold with methyl branches. In mammals, the enzymes that allow the oxidation are:

a) enzymes that allow the alpha-oxidation, displacing the 3-methyl from the fatty acid scaffold,

b) AMACR, which converts (2R)-methyl fatty acids to (2S)-methyl fatty acids,

c) and the beta-oxidation enzymes.
