Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins is involved in the metabolic process of fatty acid chain elongation within peroxisomes. Members of this family are enzymes that specifically catalyze the reduction of trans-2-enoyl-CoA substrates with chain lengths ranging from C6 to C16, with the highest activity observed for the C10 substrate. These proteins do not exhibit 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase activity, indicating a specialized function in fatty acid metabolism. The enzymatic activity contributes to the biosynthesis of fatty acids by reducing the double bond of enoyl-CoA intermediates in a stereo-specific manner.
