Gene nameSLC27A6
Protein nameLong-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase
Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 6 (FATP-6) (Fatty acid transport protein 6) (Arachidonate--CoA ligase) (EC 6.2.1.15) (Fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase, very long-chain 2) (Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase) (EC 6.2.1.3) (Solute carrier family 27 member 6) (Very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase homolog 1) (VLCSH1) (hVLCS-H1) (EC 6.2.1.-)

DescriptionFUNCTION: Mediates the import of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) into the cell by facilitating their transport at the plasma membrane . Also functions as an acyl-CoA ligase catalyzing the ATP-dependent formation of fatty acyl-CoA using LCFA and very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) as substrates (By similarity). Plays a pivotal role in regulating available LCFA substrates from exogenous sources in tissues undergoing high levels of beta-oxidation such as the heart . .
