Rabbit Anti-ACOX1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Defects in ACOX1 are the cause of adrenoleukodystrophy pseudoneonatal (Pseudo-NALD); also known as peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency. Pseudo-NALD is a peroxisomal single-enzyme disorder. Clinical features include mental retardation, leukodystrophy, seizures, mild hepatomegaly, hearing deficit. Pseudo-NALD is characterized by increased plasma levels of very-long chain fatty cids, due to decreased or absent peroxisome acyl-CoA oxidase activity. Peroxisomes are intact and functioning.
Function:
Catalyzes the desaturation of acyl-CoAs to 2-trans-enoyl-CoAs. Isoform 1 shows highest activity against medium-chain fatty acyl-CoAs and activity decreases with increasing chain length. Isoform 2 is active against a much broader range of substrates and shows activity towards very long-chain acyl-CoAs. Isoform 2 is twice as active as isoform 1 against 16-hydroxy-palmitoyl-CoA and is 25% more active against 1,16-hexadecanodioyl-CoA.
Subcellular Location:
Peroxisome.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed with highest levels of isoform 1 and isoform 2 detected in testis. Isoform 1 is expressed at higher levels than isoform 2 in liver and kidney while isoform 2 levels are higher in brain, lung, muscle, white adipose tissue and testis. Levels are almost equal in heart.
DISEASE:
Defects in ACOX1 are the cause of adrenoleukodystrophy pseudoneonatal (Pseudo-NALD) [MIM:264470]; also known as peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency. Pseudo-NALD is a peroxisomal single-enzyme disorder. Clinical features include mental retardation, leukodystrophy, seizures, mild hepatomegaly, hearing deficit. Pseudo-NALD is characterized by increased plasma levels of very-long chain fatty cids, due to decreased or absent peroxisome acyl-CoA oxidase activity. Peroxisomes are intact and functioning.
Similarity:
Belongs to the acyl-CoA oxidase family.
