acs-4 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in long-chain fatty acid metabolic process; long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA metabolic process; and neuron differentiation. Located in lipid droplet. Expressed in hypodermis; intestine; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including lung cancer; non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 63; and prostate cancer. Is an ortholog of human ACSL3 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 3) and ACSL4 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4).
