(FAs) can ultimately be degraded through different pathways which include alpha‚ beta‚ and omega-oxidation. Alpha-oxidation occurs at carbon 2 of the chain‚ b-oxidation at C3‚ and omega-oxidation at methyl end of the fatty acid. The location of each mechanism also differs as alpha- oxidation occurs in peroxisomes only‚ beta-oxidation can take place in both peroxisomes and mitochondria.
