ACSS2 - acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 2 Gene
Also Known as ACS; ACSA; ACAS2; ACECS; AceCS1; dJ1161H23.1
Species: Homo sapiens
About ACSS2
This gene has 24 transcripts (splice variants), 219 orthologues and 13 paralogues. Broad expression in fat (RPKM 49.2), duodenum (RPKM 47.1) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the activation of acetate for use in lipid synthesis and energy generation. The protein acts as a monomer and produces acetyl-CoA from acetate in a reaction that requires ATP. Expression of this gene is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, transcription factors that activate genes required for the synthesis of Cholesterol and unsaturated fatty acids. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]
