acox-1.1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans 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).
