During ?-oxidation of certain unsaturated fatty acids,cis-?³-fatty acyl-CoAs are formed that must be converted to trans-?²-fatty acyl-CoAs.Which of the following enzymes converts them to trans-?²-fatty acyl-CoAs?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzyme enoyl-CoA isomerase (also known as dodecenoyl-CoA isomerase) catalyses the conversion of cis-∆³-fatty acyl-CoA to trans-∆²-fatty acyl-CoA during beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase are not involved in this conversion.
