Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase

UniProtKB accession:  Q5SKN9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the esterification of a number of long chain fatty acids with CoA, resulting in the formation of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA. Myristate (C14) is the most efficiently processed fatty acid, followed by palmitate (C16). Also catalyzes the esterification of stearate (C18) and laurate (C12), but at lower efficiency. Does not catalyze the esterification of the unsaturated fatty acids mysteroleic and palmitoleic acids in vitro.
