Localization of nervonic acid β-oxidation in human and rodent peroxisomes: impaired oxidation in Zellweger syndrome and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy
Studies with purified subcellular organelles from rat liver indicate that nervonic acid (C24:1) is β-oxidized preferentially in peroxisomes. Lack of effect by etomoxir, inhibitor of mitochondrial β-oxidation, on β-oxidation of lignoceric acid (C24:0), a peroxisomal function, and that of nervonic aci...
