Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityATP + a long-chain fatty acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12177484}.
CofactorName=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
FunctionActivation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Preferentially uses palmitate, palmitoleate, oleate and linoleate.
PathwayLipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism.
SimilarityBelongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family. {ECO:0000305}.
