Background: ACOX1 (acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1), also known as SCOX or PALMCOX, is a 660 amino acid protein that localizes to the peroxisome and belongs to the acyl-CoA oxidase family. Existing as two alternatively spliced isoforms, ACOX1 uses FAD as a cofactor to catalyze the desaturation of very long chain acyl-CoA proteins to 2-trans-enoyl-CoA proteins, a reaction that utilizes oxygen and produces hydrogen peroxide. Defects in the gene encoding ACOX1 are the cause of pseudoneonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (pseudo-NALD), which is a single-enzyme disorder that is characterized by seizures, mental retardation, leukodystrophy, mild hepatomegaly and hearing deficits.
