DESCRIPTION

Also known as FADJ_ECOLI, fadJ, yfcX. Catalyzes the formation of a hydroxyacyl-CoA by addition of water on enoyl-CoA. Also exhibits 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities. Strongly involved in the anaerobic degradation of long and medium-chain fatty acids in the presence of nitrate and weakly involved in the aerobic degradation of long-chain fatty acids. Heterotetramer of two alpha chains (FadJ) and two beta chains (FadI).
