Protein
Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 3
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Esterification, concomitant with transport, of endogenous long-chain fatty acids into metabolically active CoA thioesters for subsequent degradation or incorporation into phospholipids. This enzyme acts preferentially on C16 and C18 fatty acids with a cis-double bond at C-9-C-10.
Similarity
Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
