ACSL4

Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 4; Isoform Short of Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 4;Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 4

Catalyzes the conversion of long-chain fatty acids to their active form acyl-CoA for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation (PubMed:21242590, PubMed:22633490, PubMed:24269233). Preferentially activates arachidonate and eicosapentaenoate as substrates (PubMed:21242590). Preferentially activates 8,9-EET > 14,15-EET > 5,6-EET > 11,12-EET. Modulates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by regulating the levels of unesterified EETs (By similarity). Modulates prostaglandin E2 secretion (PubMed:21242590).
