Acbd5 - acyl-Coenzyme A binding domain containing 5

Predicted to enable fatty-acyl-CoA binding activity and lipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in autophagy of peroxisome. Predicted to act upstream of or within autophagy. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system and sensory organ. Used to study peroxisomal disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinal dystrophy with leukodystrophy. Orthologous to human ACBD5 (acyl-CoA binding domain containing 5).
