Designing an IHC experiment for ACOX1? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

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.
