| pristanoyl-CoA oxidase | <enzyme> Pristanoic acid undergoes beta-oxidation giving alternatively rise to acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA and h2o2 Registry number: EC 1.3.3.- Synonym: 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecanoyl-CoA oxidase, 2-methylpalmitoyl-CoA oxidase, pristanyl-CoA oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |

| propionyl-CoA | The coenzyme A thioester derivative of propionic acid; an intermediate in the degradation of l-valine, l-isoleucine, l-threonine, l-methionine, and odd-chain fatty acids; a precursor for the synthesis of odd-chain fatty acids; it accumulates in individuals with a deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase. Propionyl-CoA carboxylase, an enzyme that catalyses the reaction of propionyl-CoA with CO2 and ATP to produce ADP, inorganic phosphate, and d-methylmalonyl-CoA; a biotin-dependent enzyme; an inherited deficiency of this enzyme will lead to propionic acidemia and developmental retardation. (05 Mar 2000) |
