Dodecenoyl-CoA Delta Isomerase, also known as 3,2-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase (ECI1), is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cis-or trans-double bonds of fatty acids at gamma-carbon(position 3) to trans double bonds at beta-carbon(position 2). It plays a particularly important role in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids. All classes of enoyl-CoA isomerases belong to a family of enzymes, the hydratase/isomerase or crotonase superfamily, and when examined with x-ray crystallography, exhibit a common structural feature of the family, the N-terminal core with a spiral fold composed of four turns, each turn consisting of two beta-sheets and one alpha-helix. Dodecenoyl-CoA Delta Isomerase/DCI is involved in the beta-oxidation, one of the most frequently used pathways in fatty acid degradation, of unsaturated fatty acids with double bonds at odd-numbered carbon positions. It does so by shifting the position of the double bonds in the acyl-CoA intermediates and converting 3-cis or trans-enoyl-CoA to 2-trans-enoyl-CoA.
