Function | Acyl-CoA thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH. May play an important physiological function in brain. May play a regulatory role by modulating the cellular levels of fatty acyl- CoA ligands for certain transcription factors as well as the substrates for fatty acid metabolizing enzymes, contributing to lipid homeostasis. Has broad specificity, active towards fatty acyl-CoAs with chain-lengths of C8-C18. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. |
Tissue Specificity | Isoform 1 is expressed constitutively in brain and testis. Isoform 2 is induced in liver by treatment with the peroxisome proliferator. |
Top Pathways | Fatty acid elongation, Biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids |
