Enables ATP binding activity and acyl-CoA oxidase activity. Involved in ascaroside biosynthetic process; fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA oxidase; and pheromone biosynthetic process. Located in peroxisomal matrix. Expressed in hypodermis; intestinal cell; and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital bile acid synthesis defect 6 and peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency. Is an ortholog of human ACOX1 (acyl-CoA oxidase 1).
This is a predicted enhancer region. These are intergenic TF-binding sites >500 bp from a gene start which overlap a TSS cluster, excluding regions that appear to be unannotated promoters based on having a signature of high H3K4me3/low H3K4me1. Nearest downstream gene=F08A8.1. Surounding gene organisation=tandem
