Beta-oxidation of fatty acids. The highest activity concerns the C6 to C10 chain length substrate. Converts the end product of pristanic acid beta oxidation, 4,8-dimethylnonanoyl-CoA, to its corresponding carnitine ester.
Pathway
Lipid metabolism; fatty acid beta-oxidation.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family.
Cellular localization
- Peroxisome
Alternative names
