Superfamily 3.30.300.30
Functional Family 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate-AMP ligase

Enzyme Information

6.2.1.3
Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WQ37
ATP + a long-chain fatty acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA.
-!- Acts on a wide range of long-chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, but the enzymes from different tissues show some variation in specificity. -!- The liver enzyme acts on acids from C(6) to C(20); that from brain shows high activity up to C(24).
