ACSBG2: Proteins and Enzymes

ACSBG2 mediates activation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation viabeta-oxidation. Able to activate long-chain fatty acids. Also able to activate very long-chain fatty acids; however,the relevance of such activity is unclear in vivo. Has increased ability to activate oleic and linoleic acid.
