B-oxidation of odd-chain fatty aids produce_______________?
Correct answer: D. Propionyl CoA
- A. Succinyl CoA
- B. Malonyl CoA
- C. Acetyl CoA
- D. Propionyl CoA
Explanation
Odd-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation ends with a three-carbon propionyl-CoA residue, unlike even-chain fatty acids, which end entirely as acetyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA is subsequently converted to succinyl-CoA.
