ACSL6 (Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 6) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a fusion partner, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Sarcomas and Liposarcoma. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Catalyses the conversion of long-chain fatty acids to their active form acyl-CoA for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Plays an important role in fatty acid metabolism in brain and the acyl-CoAs produced may be utilised exclusively for the synthesis of the brain lipid. Location: Mitochondrion outer membrane; Peroxisome membrane; Microsome membrane; Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (UniProt). Locus 5q31.1 (HGNC).
