This gene encodes a member of the hydratase/isomerase
superfamily. The gene product shows high sequence similarity to
enoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) hydratases of several species, particularly
within a conserved domain characteristic of these proteins. The
encoded protein, which contains a C-terminal peroxisomal targeting
sequence, localizes to the peroxisome. The rat ortholog, which
localizes to the matrix of both the peroxisome and mitochondria,
can isomerize 3-trans,5-cis-dienoyl-CoA to
2-trans,4-trans-dienoyl-CoA, indicating that it is a
delta3,5-delta2,4-dienoyl-CoA isomerase. This enzyme functions in
the auxiliary step of the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway.
Expression of the rat gene is induced by peroxisome proliferators.1) Olsen, J.V., et al. Cell 127(3):635-648(2006)
