Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of 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. This isozyme activates long-chain, branched-chain and very-long-chain fatty acids containing 22 or more carbons to their CoA derivatives. It is expressed primarily in liver and kidney, and is present in both endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes, but not in mitochondria. Its decreased peroxisomal enzyme activity is in part responsible for the biochemical pathology in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

Staining summary

Strong cytoplasmic positivity was observed in the intestinal tract, respiratory epithelia, hepatocytes, renal tubules and trophoblastic cells. Pancreas, urothelium, endocrine glands, neuronal and lymphoid tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. The remaining normal tissues were mainly negative.
