Gene information for ACOX1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51
Official gene symbolACOX1
Full nameacyl-CoA oxidase 1, palmitoyl
Aliases,ACOX,MGC1198,PALMCOX,SCOX,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is the first enzyme of the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway, which catalyzes the desaturation of acyl-CoAs to 2-trans-enoyl-CoAs. It donates electrons directly to molecular oxygen, thereby producing hydrogen peroxide. Defects in this gene result in pseudoneonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, a disease that is characterized by accumulation of very long chain fatty acids. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
