Conserved expression of alternative splicing variants of peroxisomalacyl-CoA oxidase 1in vertebrates and developmental and nutritional regulation in fish
8 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
The acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 (ACOX1) catalyzes the first, rate-limiting step in peroxisomal beta-oxidation of medium to very long straight-chain fatty acids. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) acox1 was characterized and compared with homologs from other sequenced genomes, revealing a remarkable conservation of structure in the vertebrate lineage. Strictly conserved regions of the deduced proteins included acyl-CoA oxidase...
