Comments
Comment typeDescription
FunctionBinds medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters with very high affinity and may function as an intracellular carrier of acyl-CoA esters. It is also able to displace diazepam from the benzodiazepine (BZD) recognition site located on the GABA type A receptor. It is therefore possible that this protein also acts as a neuropeptide to modulate the action of the GABA receptor.
SimilarityBelongs to the ACBP family. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityContains 1 ACB (acyl-CoA-binding) domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00573}.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000250}. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Golgi localization is dependent on ligand binding. {ECO:0000250}.
SubunitMonomer.
