NCBI Protein Information
acyl-CoA oxidase 1
NCBI Summary
Encodes a medium to long-chain acyl-CoA oxidase. Catalyzes the first step of fatty acid beta-oxidation. Involved in jasmonate biosynthesis. Gene expression is induced by wounding, drought stress, abscisic acid, and jasmonate.

UniProt Comments
Catalyzes the desaturation of both long- and medium-chain acyl-CoAs to 2-trans-enoyl-CoAs. Most active with C14-CoA. Activity on long-chain mono-unsaturated substrates is 40% higher than with the corresponding saturated substrates. Seems to be an important factor in the general metabolism of root tips. May be involved in the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid.
