Predicted to enable acid-thiol ligase activity and fatty-acyl-CoA synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in acyl-CoA metabolic process and fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cranium; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Orthologous to several human genes including ACSM2B (acyl-CoA synthetase medium chain family member 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
