Summary
Enables long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within embryonic process involved in female pregnancy. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; limb mesenchyme; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability and non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 63. Orthologous to human ACSL4 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Expression
Ubiquitous expression in placenta adult (RPKM 12.0), adrenal adult (RPKM 11.3) and 23 other tissues See more

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.
