Peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation disorders and 58 kDa sterol carrier protein X (SCPx): activity measurements in liver and fibroblasts using a newly developed method

Abstract: Sterol carrier protein X (SCPx) plays a crucial role in the peroxisomal oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. To investigate whether patients with an unresolved defect in peroxisomal β-oxidation are deficient for SCPx, we developed a novel and specific assay to measure the activity of S...
