Function Oxidase with broad substrate specificity, oxidizing aromatic azaheterocycles, such as N1-methylnicotinamide and N- methylphthalazinium, as well as aldehydes, such as benzaldehyde, retinal, pyridoxal, and vanillin. Plays a key role in the metabolism of xenobiotics and drugs containing aromatic azaheterocyclic substituents. Participates in the bioactivation of prodrugs such as famciclovir, catalyzing the oxidation step from 6-deoxypenciclovir to penciclovir, which is a potent antiviral agent. Is probably involved in the regulation of reactive oxygen species homeostasis. May be a prominent source of superoxide generation via the one-electron reduction of molecular oxygen. Also may catalyze nitric oxide (NO) production via the reduction of nitrite to NO with NADH or aldehyde as electron donor. May play a role in adipogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20444863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22031625, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22279051, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22522748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22996261, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2

Tissue Specificity Abundant in liver, expressed in adipose tissue and at lower levels in lung, skeletal muscle, pancreas. In contrast to mice, no significant gender difference in AOX1 expression level (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18066686, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18671973, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20444863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22031625, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22522748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23857892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8248161}.
