Synthesized peptide derived from human ACSS2 (Acetyl Lys418)
Alternative Names:
Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase, cytoplasmic (EC 6.2.1.1, Acetate--CoA ligase, Acetyl-CoA synthetase, ACS, AceCS, Acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 2, Acyl-activating enzyme)
This gene encodes a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the activation of acetate for use in lipid synthesis and energy generation. The protein acts as a monomer and produces acetyl-CoA from acetate in a reaction that requires ATP. Expression of this gene is
