Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA thioesterase protein family, and is one of four acyl-CoA hydrolase genes located in a cluster on chromosome 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Protein name Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 2, mitochondrial (Acyl-CoA thioesterase 2) (EC 3.1.2.2) (Acyl-coenzyme A thioester hydrolase 2a) (CTE-Ia) (Long-chain acyl-CoA thioesterase 2) (ZAP128)
Protein function Catalyzes the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs into free fatty acids and coenzyme A (CoASH), regulating their respective intracellular levels (PubMed:10944470, PubMed:16940157). Displays higher activity toward long chain acyl CoAs (C14-C20) (PubMed:10944
