EHHADH (human), recombinant protein

Protein function: Peroxisomal trifunctional enzyme possessing 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and delta 3, delta 2-enoyl- CoA isomerase activities. Catalyzes two of the four reactions of the long straight chain fatty acids peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway. Optimal isomerase for 2,5 double bonds into 3,5 form isomerization in a range of enoyl-CoA species (Probable). Also able to isomerize both 3- cis and 3-trans double bonds into the 2-trans form in a range of enoyl- CoA species. With HSD17B4, catalyzes the hydration of trans-2-enoyl-CoA and the dehydrogenation of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA, but with opposite chiral specificity (PubMed:15060085). Regulates the amount of medium-chain dicarboxylic fatty acids which are essential regulators of all fatty acid oxidation pathways. Also involved in the degradation of long-chain dicarboxylic acids through peroxisomal beta-oxidation (PubMed:15060085). [The UniProt Consortium]
