ACOX1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ACOX1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q25.1 and is approximately 38 kb in length. This allele, which encodes peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 protein, plays a role in fatty acid oxidation. Mutation of the gene is associated with Mitchell syndrome and pseudoneonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (also called peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency).
