Â A modified form can be carried out by animals in peroxisomes, while in plants, this pathway occurs in glyoxysomes.
When it occurs in mitochondria, the rate limiting step of this pathway is inhibited by malonyl CoA. Â That step is catalyzed by the outer mitochondrial membrane protein CPT-1, or carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1. Â When it begins with an odd-numbered chain, this process ends with propionyl CoA. Â During starvation, the depletion of oxaloacetate stores means that the normal end product of this pathway cannot enter the (*) Krebs cycle, and instead gets converted to ketone bodies. Â Enzymes involved in this pathway include a thiolase, and enoyl CoA hydratase. Â A modified form can be carried out by animals in peroxisomes, while in plants, this pathway occurs in glyoxysomes. Â It begins with the flavoprotein acyl CoA dehydrogenase. Â For 10 points, identify this process in which successive two carbon units in the form of acetyl CoA are removed from a long chain fatty acid.
