The 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase activity of rat liver peroxisomes is due to the combined actions of two enoyl-CoA hydratases: a revision of the epimerase-dependent pathway of unsaturated fatty acid oxidation.

Chromatography of a rat liver extract on DEAE-cellulose resulted in the near total loss of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase activity. The activity was regained either when fractions were recombined or when purified crotonase was added to the early column fractions. A new enoyl-CoA hydratase present in these early fractions catalyzes the conversion of D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA to 2-trans-enoyl-CoA which can be hydrated by crotonase or the peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme to L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA. Thus, the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase activity is due to the combined actions of two enoyl-CoA hydratases with opposite stereospecificities.[1]
