Facts about Peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1.
Isoform 2 is active against a much broader range of substrates and reveals activity towards quite long-chain acyl-CoAs. Isoform 2 is twice as active as isoform 1 from 16-hydroxy- palmitoyl-CoA and is 25% more active from 1,16-hexadecanodioyl- CoA.

Widely expressed with highest levels of isoform 1 and isoform 2 detected in testis. Isoform 1 is expressed at higher levels than isoform 2 in liver and kidney while isoform 2 levels are higher in brain, lung, muscle, white adipose tissue and testis. Levels are almost equal in heart.
