ACSL1 - acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 1 Gene
Also Known as ACS1; LACS; FACL1; FACL2; LACS1; LACS2
Species: Homo sapiens
About ACSL1
This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 326 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 357.3), liver (RPKM 217.4) and 10 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of the long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A Ligase family. Although differing in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution, all isozymes of this family convert free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters, and thereby play a key role in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]
