Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, based on the tentative theory that fatty acid omega oxidation is the pathway for emergency such as a starvation, we elucidated the enzymes contribute to this pathway and the physiological function. The first reaction of omega-oxidation is omega-hydroxylation catalyzed by omega-hydroxylases. In this study, we clarified that the hydroxyl group of the fatty acid was oxidized to aldehyde by an alcohol dehydrogenase and subsequently it was oxidized to carboxyl group by an aldehyde dehydrogenase. Furthermore, under low temperature condition, we confirmed fatty acids were metabolized via alfa-oxidation pathway also in addition to omega-oxidation, pruduced dicarboxylic acids which number of carbon are odd secreted in urine.
