Full name | | acyl-CoA thioesterase 8 |
Aliases | | ,HNAACTE,PTE-2,PTE1,PTE2,hACTE-III,hTE, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is a peroxisomal thioesterase that appears to be involved more in the oxidation of fatty acids rather than in their formation. The encoded protein can bind to the human immunodeficiency virus-1 protein Nef, and mediate Nef-induced down-regulation of CD4 in T-cells. [provided by RefSeq] |
