About Acox2

Summary

Enables 3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholestanoyl-CoA 24-hydroxylase activity; fatty acid binding activity; and flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity. Involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation. Located in peroxisome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital bile acid synthesis defect 6. Orthologous to human ACOX2 (acyl-CoA oxidase 2).
