In enzymology a fatty-acid peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionpalmitate + 2 H2O2 pentadecanal + CO2 + 3 H2OThus the two substrates of this enzyme are palmitate and H2O2 whereas its 3 products are pentadecanal CO2 and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on a peroxide as acceptor (peroxidases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is hexadecanoate:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase.
