Peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ACOX3 gene.Acyl-Coenzyme A oxidase 3 also known as pristanoyl -CoA oxidase (ACOX3)is involved in the desaturation of 2-methyl branched fatty acids in peroxisomes. Unlike the rat homolog the human gene is expressed in very low amounts in the liver such that its mRNA was undetectable by routine Northern-blot analysis by immunoblotting for its product or by enzyme activity measurements.
