A portion of amino acids 505-533 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this ACSL1 antibody.
Acyl CoA synthetase long chain family member 1 is an isozyme of the long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase family. Although differing in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution, all isozymes of this family convert free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters, and thereby play a key role in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation.
