Acyl Coenzyme A Synthetase Bubblegum Family, Member 2 (ACSBG2)

Acyl CoA Synthetase Bubblegum Family Member 2(ACSBG2) Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family. Bubblegum subfamily.Mediates activation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Able to activate long-chain fatty acids. Also able to activate very long-chain fatty acids; however, the relevance of such activity is unclear in vivo. Has increased ability to activate oleic and linoleic acid. May play a role in spermatogenesis.Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase ACSBG2 is an enzyme encoded by the ACSBG2 gene.Weakly or not expressed in fetal testis. Highly expressed in adult testis and moderately in elderly testis
