## TL;DR

ACOXL (Acyl-coenzyme A oxidase-like protein) is an enzyme. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Leukaemia.

## Summary

UniProt has no function text for Q9NUZ1; HGNC names it "acyl-CoA oxidase like".

## Fields

- Kind: Target
- Last checked: 2026-09-23

- Tags: cancer-genes-wave
- Symbol: ACOXL
- Class: enzyme
- Biology: UniProt has no function text for Q9NUZ1; HGNC names it "acyl-CoA oxidase like". Locus 2q13 (HGNC).

## Notes

- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
