Identification
Name:Short-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase
Synonyms:
  • Acyl-CoA synthetase
Gene Name:fadK
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
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
Cellular Location:Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
