Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) is a heterocomplex composed of 4 alpha-subunits containing LCEH (long-chain 2,3-enoyl-CoA hydratase) and LCHAD (long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase) activity, and 4 beta-subunits that harbor LCKT (long-chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase) activity.
