Term Information

Accession: GO:0001561
Name: fatty acid alpha-oxidation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A metabolic pathway by which 3-methyl branched fatty acids are degraded. These compounds are not degraded by the normal peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway, because the 3-methyl blocks the dehydrogenation of the hydroxyl group by hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. The 3-methyl branched fatty acid is converted in several steps to pristenic acid, which can then feed into the beta-oxidative pathway. Source: PMID:10198260
