ACSL3 Lysates

Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 3, or ACSL3, is an isozyme of the long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase family. These proteins play an important role in both the biosynthesis of cellular lipids and degradation via beta-oxidation. Like other isozymes of this family, ALCS3 converts free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters. Specifically, ACSL3 mediates hepatic lipogenesis By similarity and has a mainly anabolic role in energy metabolism.

This isozyme is highly expressed in ...
