Summary: Enables very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in long-chain fatty acid import into cell and long-chain fatty acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human SLC27A6 (solute carrier family 27 member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
