In enzymology, a fatty-acid peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, 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.
This enzyme is also called long chain fatty acid peroxidase.
