Summary
Enables arachidonate-CoA ligase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including organophosphate biosynthetic process; positive regulation of long-chain fatty acid import across plasma membrane; and triglyceride biosynthetic process. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia and leukemia. Orthologous to human ACSL6 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
