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. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum; lipid droplet; and plasma membrane. 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).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
