Summary: Enables oleoyl-CoA ligase activity and very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Involved in glucose import in response to insulin stimulus; long-chain fatty acid import into cell; and negative regulation of all-trans-retinyl-ester hydrolase, 11-cis retinol forming activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; fatty acid transport; and skin development. Located in brush border membrane; endoplasmic reticulum; and microvillus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; nervous system; skin; and urinary system. Used to study restrictive dermopathy. Orthologous to human SLC27A4 (solute carrier family 27 member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
