A portion of amino acids 1-30 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this ACSL3 antibody.
An initial reaction in fatty acid metabolism in eukaryotic cells is activation of fatty acids catalyzed by acyl-CoA synthetase. Acyl CoA synthetase long chain family member 3 was identified as a member of the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) family by PCR of rat brain cDNAs using primers based on the conserved region of the ACS protein.
