    basic FUNCTION
  • peroxisomal branched chain trihydroxypristanoyl-CoA oxidase
  • acting on the CoA-esters of bile acid intermediates and pristanic acid
  • key regulatory enzyme of the beta-oxidation pathway 2 for side chain oxidation of cholesterol
  • involved in bile acid production, a process that has been associated with both oxidative stress and regulation of triglyceride levels
