Protein
S-acyl fatty acid synthase thioesterase, medium chain
Function
Contributes to the release of free fatty acids from fatty acid synthase (FASN). Has broad substrate specificity, giving rise to a range of free fatty acids with chain lengths between 10 and 16 carbon atoms (C10 - C16).
Similarity
Belongs to the thioesterase family.
