GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

Gene name

ACSL6

Description

acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 6

Protein class

Enzymes, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Mutated genes in cancer, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

Low

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the formation of acyl-CoA from fatty acids, ATP, and CoA, using magnesium as a cofactor. The encoded protein plays a major role in fatty acid metabolism in the brain. Translocations with the ETV6 gene are causes of myelodysplastic syndrome with basophilia, acute myelogenous leukemia with eosinophilia, and acute eosinophilic leukemia. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]

Staining summary

Strong cytoplasmic positivity was observed in gastrointestinal tract, lung macrophages, gall bladder, exocrine pancreas, adrenal gland, seminal vesicle and Purkinje cells. Alveolar cells, glial cells in CNS, renal glomeruli, uterus, most cells in lymphoid tissues, heart and smooth muscle cells were negative. Remaining normal tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining.
