Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.1.0)
Enables acyl-CoA oxidase activity. Involved in fatty acid derivative biosynthetic process and fatty acid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Located in peroxisomal membrane. Is active in peroxisomal matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Mitchell syndrome and peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency. Orthologous to human ACOX1 (acyl-CoA oxidase 1).
