ACSL1 Rabbit pAb

The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of the 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. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Synonyma: ACSL1, ACS1, FACL1, FACL2, LACS, LACS1, LACS2, long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 1
