Reaction: HAO2 tetramer oxidises 2OH-PALM
- in pathway: Peroxisomal lipid metabolism 
  Fatty acids can be metabolised by two distinct pathways; alpha- and beta-oxidation. Peroxisomal hydroxyacid oxidase 2 (HAO2) is thought to take part in alpha-oxidation of long chain fatty acids such as 2-hydroxypalmitate (2OH-PALM).  HAO2 functions as a homotetramer and is highly expressed in liver and kidney (Jones et al. 2000).
