Stereochemistry of the α-oxidation of 3-methyl-branched fatty acids in rat liver
The stereochemistry of the α-oxidation of 3-methyl-branched fatty acids was studied in rat liver. R- and S-3-methylhexadecanoic acid were equally well α-oxidized in intact hepatocytes and homogenates. Subcellular fractionation studies showed that α-oxidation of both isomers is confined to peroxisome...
