Abstract excerpt
In plants, peroxisomes are the primary site of fatty acid β-oxidation. Following substrate activation, fatty acids are oxidized by Acyl-CoA Oxidase (ACX) enzymes. Arabidopsis has six ACX genes, although ACX6 is not expressed. Biochemical characterization has revealed that each ACX enzyme acts on specific chain-length targets, but in a partially overlapping manner, indicating a degree of functional redundancy....
