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
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.
