ACSM3 (Acyl-coenzyme A synthetase ACSM3, mitochondrial) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Glioma & glioblastoma.
Catalyses the activation of fatty acids by CoA to produce an acyl-CoA, the first step in fatty acid metabolism. Capable of activating medium-chain fatty acids with a preference for isobutyrate among fatty acids with 2-6 carbon atoms.
IntOGen calls it a driver in 1 cohort (1 activating, 0 loss-of-function), covering Glioblastoma Multiforme.
