EHHADH is one of three preoxisomal enzymes of the classic peroxisomal Beta-oxidation cycle involved in the catabolism of free fatty acids.Most dietary long chain fatty acids are oxidized in the mitochondria, but very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) must be shortened first by peroxisomal Beta-oxidation prior to complete oxidation in mitochondria.
