Slc27a1 - solute carrier family 27 member 1

Predicted to enable several functions, including fatty acid ligase activity; identical protein binding activity; and monocarboxylic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to hormone stimulus; glycerophospholipid biosynthetic process; and lipid transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within long-chain fatty acid transport. Located in caveola and mitochondrion. Colocalizes with mitochondrial inner membrane. Biomarker of familial hyperlipidemia; glucose intolerance; hyperinsulinism; myocardial infarction; and obesity. Orthologous to human SLC27A1 (solute carrier family 27 member 1).
