Mitochondrial Beta-Oxidation of Short Chain Saturated Fatty Acids
Definition
fatty acids and their coa esters are found throughout the body, playing roles such as components of cellular lipids, regulators of enzymes and membrane channels, ligands for nuclear receptors, precursor molecules for hormones, and signalling molecules. beta-oxidation occurs in the peroxisomes and mitochondria, the latter of which is depicted here.
