Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for ACSL3(NM_004457.4) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of the long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase family. Although differing in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution, all isozymes of this family convert free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters, and thereby play a key role in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation. This isozyme is highly expressed in brain, and preferentially utilizes myristate, arachidonate, and eicosapentaenoate as substrates. The amino acid sequence of this isozyme is 92% identical to that of rat homolog.
Gene References into function
- Sequence analysis of genomic clones demonstrates that the human ACS3 gene spans at least 80.6 kb and contains 17 exons.
- Repression of FAS mRNA expression is the consequence of feedback inhibition of FAS expression by long chain fatty acyl-CoAs, which are formed by FACL3 during its upregulation by vitamin D3in prostate cancer cells.
- Oncostatin M directly lowers the plasma triglycerides in hyperlipidemia by stimulating the transcription of ACSL3/5 in the liver.
- Data suggest that endogenous FATP4 does not function to translocate fatty acids across the plasma membrane, but functions more as a very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
- Small interfering RNA targeting ACSL3 inhibits secretion of hepatitis c virus from human hepatoma-derived cells
