ENZYME entry: EC 6.2.1.3

Accepted Name

long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase

Alternative Name(s)

acyl-activating enzyme

acyl-CoA synthetase

fatty acid thiokinase (long chain)

lignoceroyl-CoA synthase

Reaction catalysed

a long-chain fatty acid + ATP + CoA = a long-chain fatty acyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate

Comment(s)

Acts on a wide range of long-chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, but the enzymes from different tissues show some variation in specificity.
The liver enzyme acts on acids from C6 to C20; that from brain shows high activity up to C24.
