ACOX2 (Acyl-Coenzyme A Oxidase 2, Branched Chain, BCOX, BRCACOX, BRCOX, THCCox, Peroxisomal Branched Chain Acyl-CoA Oxidase, THCA-CoA Oxidase, Trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA Oxidase)

ACOX2 belongs to the acyl-CoA oxidases family. It is a branched-chain acyl-CoA oxidase, and is involved in the degradation of long branched fatty acids and bile acid intermediates in peroxisomes. It oxidizes the CoA esters of the bile acid intermediates di- and tri-hydroxycholestanoic acids. Mutations resulting in the deficiency of ACOX2 lead to the accumulation of branched fatty acids and bile acid intermediates.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nELISA: 1:32,000\nWestern Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml, observed in human liver lysates on ~75kD bands\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
