Gene information for ACOX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8309
Official gene symbolACOX2
Full nameacyl-CoA oxidase 2, branched chain
Aliases,BCOX,BRCACOX,BRCOX,THCCox,
Gene summaryThe product of this gene belongs to the acyl-CoA oxidase family. It encodes the branched-chain acyl-CoA oxidase which is involved in the degradation of long branched fatty acids and bile acid intermediates in peroxisomes. Deficiency of this enzyme results in the accumulation of branched fatty acids and bile acid intermediates, and may lead to Zellweger syndrome, severe mental retardation, and death in children.
