Question

What is the role of thiokinase in fatty acid oxidation?​

Answer 1

The thiokinase is specific for fatty acids of chain length greater than C-10. ... Although the long chain thiokinase is easily solubilized, the data show that the intact glyoxysomes can convert free fatty acids to their CoA derivatives and oxidize them to acetyl- CoA.
