DECR2 (Peroxisomal 2,4-Dienoyl-CoA Reductase, 2,4-dienoyl CoA Reductase 2, Peroxisomal)

Decr2 is the auxiliary enzyme of beta-oxidation. Decr2 participates in the degradation of unsaturated fatty enoyl-CoA esters having double bonds in both even- and odd-numbered positions in peroxisome. Decr2 catalyzes the NADP-dependent reduction of 2,4-dienoyl-CoA to yield trans-3-enoyl-CoA. Decr2 has activity towards short and medium chain 2,4-dienoyl-CoAs, but also towards 2,4,7,10,13,16,19-docosaheptaenoyl-CoA, suggesting that it does not constitute a rate limiting step in the peroxisomal degradation of docosahexaenoic acid.||Applications: |Suitable for use in Western Blot.
