General annotation (Comments)

Function

Activation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Preferentially uses arachidonate and eicosapentaenoate as substrates.

Catalytic activity

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

Cofactor

Magnesium By similarity.

Subcellular location

Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein By similarity. Peroxisome membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein By similarity. Microsome membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein By similarity. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Abundant in steroidogenic tissues, also found in the kidney, brain and liver.

Induction

Induced by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and suppressed by glucocorticoid.

Sequence similarities

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

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform Long (identifier: Q9QUJ7-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform Short (identifier: Q9QUJ7-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-41: Missing.
