High impact information on Acox3

 

Anatomical context of Acox3

  • Screening of different rat tissues, either for enzyme activity or by immunoblotting, revealed the highest level of pristanoyl-CoA oxidase in liver, followed by kidney, intestinal mucosa, spleen and lung [4].
 

Associations of Acox3 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of Acox3

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Acox3

  • This was also confirmed by immunoblotting which provided a clear signal only in rat liver, possibly indicating that pristanoyl-CoA oxidase might be a rat-specific oxidase [4].
