Summary: Enables acetoacetate-CoA ligase activity and short-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cholesterol; cellular response to testosterone stimulus; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Biomarker of obesity. Orthologous to human AACS (acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Prenatal nicotine exposure can cause DNA hypermethylation of the AACS promoter in the rat fetal adrenal.
Title: DNA hypermethylation of acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase contributes to inhibited cholesterol supply and steroidogenesis in fetal rat adrenals under prenatal nicotine exposure.
As acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase was expressed in neural-like cells, ketone bodies are assumed to be utilized for the synthesis of lipidic substances and to cause metabolic disorders in the nervous system of genetically obese rats.
Title: Genetic obesity affects neural ketone body utilization in the rat brain.
AACS in adipose tissue plays an important role in utilizing ketone body for the fatty acid-synthesis during adipose tissue development
Title: Acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase gene is abundant in rat adipose, and related with fatty acid synthesis in mature adipocytes.

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.
