Protein
Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Esterification, concomitant with transport, of exogenous long-chain fatty acids into metabolically active CoA thioesters for subsequent degradation or incorporation into phospholipids. It may supplement intracellular myristoyl-CoA pools from exogenous myristate. Preferentially acts on C12:0-C16:0 fatty acids with myristic and pentadecanic acid (C15:0) having the highest activities.
Similarity
Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
