The AOX ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of AOX in various samples. AOX is another term for the ACOX1 gene, which encodes the protein, acyl-CoA oxidase 1 in humans. It has been reported that AOX plays a role in cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis and the metabolism of lipids, among other functions. Structurally, the ACOX1 protein is 660 amino acid residues in length and 74.4 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the peroxisomes of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be widely expressed with highest levels of isoform 1 and isoform 2 detected in testis. Other names for this target antigen include ACOX and MITCH. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
