Protein name

Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 6

Comment

FUNCTION:Activation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Plays an important role in fatty acid metabolism in brain and the acyl-CoAs produced may be utilized exclusively for the synthesis of the brain lipid.||CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:ATP + a long-chain carboxylic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA.||COFACTOR:Magnesium.||SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein (By similarity). Peroxisome membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein (By similarity). Microsome membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein (By similarity). Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein (By similarity).||ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS:Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=8; Name=4; IsoId=Q9UKU0-4; Sequence=Displayed; Name=1; Synonyms=Long, v2; IsoId=Q9UKU0-1; Sequence=VSP 037819; Name=2; Synonyms=Short; IsoId=Q9UKU0-2; Sequence=VSP 021024, VSP 000241; Note=No e
