Acsl3 - acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 3

Predicted to enable arachidonate-CoA ligase activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; positive regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum; lipid droplet; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; breast cancer; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human ACSL3 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 3).
