Function

Activation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Plays an important role in fatty acid metabolism in brain and the acyl-CoAs produced may be utilized exclusively for the synthesis of the brain lipid.

Subcellular Localization

Microsome membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type III membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type III membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Note=A chromosomal aberration involving ACSL6 may be a cause of myelodysplastic syndrome with basophilia. Translocation t(5;12)(q31;p13) with ETV6.Note=A chromosomal aberration involving ACSL6 may be a cause of acute myelogenous leukemia with eosinophilia. Translocation t(5;12)(q31;p13) with ETV6.Note=A chromosomal aberration involving ACSL6 may be a cause of acute eosinophilic leukemia (AEL). Translocation t(5;12)(q31;p13) with ETV6.

Tissue Specificity

Expressed predominantly in erythrocyte precursors, in particular in reticulocytes, fetal blood cells derived from fetal liver, hemopoietic stem cells from cord blood, bone marrow and brain. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10548543}.
