SLC27A2

Protein name: FATP2 Aliases: ACSVL1, VLCS, VLACS, FACVL1 Substrates: LCFA, VLCFA Transport type: LCFA transport, VLCFA activation Tissue and cellular expression: liver, kidney cortex, placenta Subcellular expression: N/D Disease: unknown Locus: 15q21.2 Sequence ID: NP_001153101.1, NM_001159629.1 NP_003636.2, NM_003645.3 Gene ID: 11001 Splice variants: variant 1 encodes the full-length protein, variant 2 lacks an in-frame coding exon, resulting in a shorter isoform missing an internal protein segment

Function: Acyl-CoA synthetase probably involved in bile acid metabolism. Proposed to activate C27 precurors of bile acids to their CoA thioesters derivatives before side chain cleavage via peroxisomal beta-oxidation occurs. In vitro, activates 3-alpha,7- alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanate (THCA), the C27 precursor of cholic acid deriving from the de novo synthesis from cholesterol. Does not utilize C24 bile acids as substrates. In vitro, also activates long- and branched-chain fatty acids and may have additional roles in fatty acid metabolism. May be involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids (LFCA) across membranes (By similarity)
Catalytic activity: ATP + a very-long-chain carboxylic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA
Cellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Peroxisome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Peripheral membrane associated with the lumenal side of peroxisomes
Tissue specificity: Expressed in liver, kidney, placenta and pancreas
