be·ta-ox·i·da·tion B0213900 (bā′tə-ŏk′sĭ-dā′shən, bē′-)n. The oxidative degradation of saturated fatty acids, occurring in a repeating cycle of steps in which a two-carbon unit is removed from the molecule during each cycle.EncyclopediaSeebeta oxidationbeta-oxidation
beta-ox·i·da·tion , β-oxidation1. oxidation of the β-carbon (carbon 3) of a fatty acid, forming the β-keto (β-oxo) acid analogue; of importance in fatty acid catabolism; 2. the entire pathway for the catabolism of saturated fatty acids containing an even number of carbon atoms; beta-oxidation (1) is a part of this pathway; acetyl-CoA is a major product of this pathway. beta-oxidation (bā′tə-ŏk′sĭ-dā′shən, bē′-)n. The oxidative degradation of saturated fatty acids, occurring in a repeating cycle of steps in which a two-carbon unit is removed from the molecule during each cycle.beta-oxidation The oxidative breakdown of fatty acids in the form of acyl-coA into acetyl-coA, by repeated oxidation at the beta-carbon atom, allowing them to participate in the citric acid cycle. |
