Other name(s): 46 kDa hydratase 2; (24R,25R)-3α,7α,12α,24-tetrahydroxy-5β-cholestanoyl-CoA hydro-lyase

Systematic name: (24R,25R)-3α,7α,12α,24-tetrahydroxy-5β-cholestanoyl-CoA hydro-lyase [(24E)-3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholest-24-enoyl-CoA-forming]

Comments: This enzyme forms part of the rat peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme perMFE-2, which also exhibits a dehydrogenase activity. The enzyme is involved in the β-oxidation of the cholesterol side chain in the cholic-acid-biosynthesis pathway.
