Disease mechanisms and protein structures in fatty acid oxidation defects.

Abstract excerpt

In fatty acid oxidation defects, the majority of gene variations are of the missense type and, therefore, prone to inducing misfolding in the resulting mutant protein. The fate of the mutant protein depends on the nature of the gene variation and other genetic factors as well as cellular and environmental factors. Since it has been shown that certain fatty acid oxidation enzyme proteins, exemplified by mutant...
