Protein Details

1. Short-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase

General function:: Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:: Catalyzes the esterification, concomitant with transport, of exogenous fatty acids into metabolically active CoA thioesters for subsequent degradation or incorporation into phospholipids. It has a low activity on medium or long chain fatty acids and is maximally active on C6 and C8 substrates
Gene Name:: fadK
Uniprot ID:: P38135
Molecular weight:: 60773

Reactions

ATP + a short-chain carboxylic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA.
