Mitochondrial and peroxisomal targeting of 2-methylacyl-CoA racemase in humans
2-Methylacyl-CoA racemase is an auxiliary enzyme required for the peroxisomal β-oxidative breakdown of (2R)-pristanic acid and the (25R)-isomer of C27 bile acid intermediates. The enzyme activity is found not only in peroxisomes but also is present in mitochondria of human liver and fibroblasts. The...
