Background
The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (VLCS). It is caMABle of activating very long-chain fatty-acids containing 24- and 26-carbons. It is expressed in liver and associated with endoplasmic reticulum but not with peroxisomes. Its primary role is in fatty acid elongation or complex lipid synthesis rather than in degradation. This gene has a mouse ortholog. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + (25R)-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestan-26-oate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + (25R)-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanoyl-CoA.,catalytic activity:ATP + cholate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + choloyl-CoA.,function:Acyl-CoA synthetase involved in bile acid metabolism. Proposed to catalyze the first step in the conjugation of C24 bile acids (choloneates) to glycine and taurine before excretion into bile canaliculi by activating them to their CoA thioesters. Seems to activate secondary bile acids entering the liver from the enterohepatic circulation. In vitro, also activates 3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanate (THCA), the C27 precursor of cholic acid deriving from the de novo synthesis from cholesterol.,similarity:Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.,tissue specificity:Predominantly expressed in l
