Gene information for SLC27A5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10998
Official gene symbolSLC27A5
Full namesolute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 5
Aliases,ACSB,ACSVL6,FACVL3,FATP5,FLJ22987,VLACSR,VLCS-H2,VLCSH2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (VLCS). It is capable of activating very long-chain fatty-acids containing 24- and 26-carbons. It is expressed in liver and associated with endoplasmic reticulum but not with peroxisomes. Its primary role is in fatty acid elongation or complex lipid synthesis rather than in degradation. This gene has a mouse ortholog. [provided by RefSeq]
