Beta-oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in peroxisomes. Subcellular distribution of delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase activity in rat liver. 1987

T Kärki, and E Hakkola, and I E Hassinen, and J K Hiltunen

The metabolism of the double bonds at the delta 3 position in fatty acids was studied in rat liver. Infusion of delta 3-trans-dodecenoic acid into isolated perfused liver and subcellular fractionation studies showed the presence of both peroxisomal and mitochondrial delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase activity (EC 5.3.3.8). These findings together with the previous demonstration of peroxisomal 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.1.34) [(1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 8259-8262] and D-3-OH-acyl-CoA epimerase (EC 5.1.2.3) [(1985) FEBS Lett. 185, 129-134] activities show that peroxisomes possess all the auxiliary enzymes required for the beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007535 Isomerases A class of enzymes that catalyze geometric or structural changes within a molecule to form a single product. The reactions do not involve a net change in the concentrations of compounds other than the substrate and the product.(from Dorland, 28th ed) EC 5. Isomerase
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008830 Microbodies Electron-dense cytoplasmic particles bounded by a single membrane, such as PEROXISOMES; GLYOXYSOMES; and glycosomes. Glycosomes,Glycosome,Microbody
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p343-4) Liver Mitochondria,Liver Mitochondrion,Mitochondrion, Liver
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.

D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects. (From Websters, 10th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
