Subcellular localization and physiological role of α-methylacyl-CoA racemase

α-Methylacyl-CoA racemase plays an important role in the β-oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives because it catalyzes the conversion of several (2R)-methyl-branched-chain fatty acyl-CoAs to their (S)-stereoisomers. Only stereoisomers with the 2-methyl group in the (S)-co...
