摘要: Peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation enzymes are summarized in comparison to their mitochondrial counterparts. The peroxisomal involved the β-oxidation spiral schematically classified into two groups. first group consists of hitherto purified and characterized classical enzymes: palmitoyl-CoA oxidase, L-bifunctional protein, 3-ketoacyl-CoA. These inducible act on straight chain substrates. second recently identified enzymes, branched-chain d-bifunctional sterolcarrier protein x, which catalyze four reactions cycle. noninducible
