Tissue Specificity | Higher expression in white adipose tissue than in heart. Highest expression in skeletal muscle, heart and fat. Lower levels in brain, kidney, lung, liver and testis. No expression in spleen or intestine. |

Function | Mediates the import of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) into the cell by facilitating their transport at the plasma membrane (Probable). Also functions as an acyl-CoA ligase catalyzing the ATP-dependent formation of fatty acyl-CoA using LCFA and very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) as substrates, which prevents fatty acid efflux from cells and might drive more fatty acid uptake. May act directly as a bona fide transporter, or alternatively, in a cytoplasmic or membrane-associated multimeric protein complex to trap and draw fatty acids towards accumulation. Plays a pivotal role in regulating available LCFA substrates from exogenous sources in tissues undergoing high levels of beta-oxidation or triglyceride synthesis. May be involved in regulation of cholesterol metabolism. Probably involved in fatty acid transport across the blood barrier. |
