Summary Introduction

To review:

The redox reaction of the β-oxidation cycle.

Introduction:

The biochemical process thatinvolves break down of fatty acid into acetyl-CoA is known as β-oxidation of fatty acid. In prokaryotes, fatty acid β-oxidation occurs in the cytosol and in eukaryotes β-oxidation, occurs in the mitochondria and peroxisome. The β-oxidation cycle involves four steps to generate acetyl-CoA from a fatty acid.
