| ncRNA Symbol: | ACOX3 | | Full Name: | acyl-CoA oxidase 3, pristanoyl | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | - | | Chromosome: | chr4 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 8366282 | End Site(bp): | 8440723 | | | Gene Summary: | Acyl-Coenzyme A oxidase 3 also know as pristanoyl -CoA oxidase (ACOX3)is involved in the desaturation of 2-methyl branched fatty acids in peroxisomes. Unlike the rat homolog, the human gene is expressed in very low amounts in liver such that its mRNA was undetectable by routine Northern-blot analysis or its product by immunoblotting or by enzyme activity measurements. However the human cDNA encoding a 700 amino acid protein with a peroxisomal targeting C-terminal tripeptide S-K-L was isolated and is thought to be expressed under special conditions such as specific developmental stages or in a tissue specific manner in tissues that have not yet been examined.
