Disease relevance of ACX2

Expression of AtACX1 and AtACX2 in Escherichia coli gave active enzymes for enzymatic and biochemical analysis [1].

High impact information on ACX2

We have isolated and characterized T-DNA insertion mutants in the medium to long-chain (ACX1) and long-chain (ACX2) acyl-CoA oxidases, and show that the corresponding endogenous activities are decreased in the mutants [2].
