Description

solute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 2

Gene Summary

Enables fatty acid ligase activity; fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity; and long-chain fatty acid transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid transport; long-chain fatty acid metabolic process; and very long-chain fatty acid catabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; peroxisome; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC27A2 (solute carrier family 27 member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
