Description |
long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase FAA1 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity and medium-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Involved in long-chain fatty acid import into cell; long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA metabolic process; and sphingoid long-chain base transport. Located in lipid droplet and plasma membrane. Used to study Sjogren-Larsson syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; breast cancer; intellectual disability; non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 63; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including ACSL4 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025] |
