ACOXL (Acyl-CoA Oxidase-Like) is a protein related to the acyl-CoA oxidase family, which plays a key role in the β-oxidation of very long-chain fatty acids within peroxisomes. While its exact metabolic function is not yet fully understood, ACOXL is thought to contribute to lipid metabolism and the regulation of fatty acid breakdown. Studying ACOXL may provide insights into metabolic disorders and diseases linked to lipid storage and oxidation.
