Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Involved in long-chain fatty acid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea. Orthologous to human ACSL5 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show decreased bone mineral content and density, thrombocytopenia, and reduced total jejunal acyl-CoA synthetase activity but no changes in the intestinal absorption of dietary long-chain fatty acids or in body weight gain after a high-fat diet.
