Protein name Fatty acid CoA ligase Acsl3 (Arachidonate--CoA ligase) (EC 6.2.1.15) (Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 3) (LACS 3) (Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 3) (EC 6.2.1.3) (Medium-chain acyl-CoA ligase Acsl3) (EC 6.2.1.2)
Protein function Acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) activates long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation (PubMed:22633490). Required for the incorporation of fatty acids into phosphatidylcholine, the major phospholi
