Anti-Human/Mouse ACSM5 Polyclonal Antibody

Fatty acids are incorporated into membranes and signaling molecules and have roles in energy storage and metabolism. These essential functions require activation of the fatty acid by acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetases, such as ACSM5, which form an activating thioester linkage between the fatty acid and CoA. Has medium-chain fatty acid:CoA ligase activity with broad substrate specificity (in vitro). Acts on acids from C4 to C11 and on the corresponding 3-hydroxy- and 2,3- or 3,4-unsaturated acids (in vitro).
