General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acyl-CoA synthetase probably involved in bile acid metabolism. Proposed to activate C27 precurors of bile acids to their CoA thioesters derivatives before side chain cleavage via peroxisomal beta-oxidation occurs. In vitro, activates 3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanate (THCA), the C27 precursor of cholic acid deriving from the de novo synthesis from cholesterol. Does not utilize C24 bile acids as substrates. In vitro, also activates long- and branched-chain fatty acids and may have additional roles in fatty acid metabolism. May be involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids (LFCA) across membranes By similarity.

Catalytic activity

ATP + a long-chain carboxylic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA.

ATP + a very-long-chain carboxylic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA.

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Peroxisome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Peripheral membrane associated with the lumenal side of peroxisomes. Ref.2

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
