In

enzymology, an acyl-CoA oxidase (EC 1.3.3.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

acyl-CoA + O2 trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + H2O2

Thus, the two

substrates of this enzyme are acyl-CoA and O2, whereas its two products are trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA and H2O2
.

This enzyme belongs to the family of

signaling pathway. It employs one cofactor, FAD
.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 6

structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1IS2, 1W07, 2DDH, 2FON, 2IX5, and 2IX6
