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};
Disruption PhenotypeReduced amount long-chain fatty acid (LCFA). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12177483}.
FunctionActivation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Preferentially uses palmitate, palmitoleate, oleate and linoleate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12177483}.
PathwayLipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism.
SimilarityBelongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPlastid, chloroplast envelope {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12177483}.
Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in developing seeds and young rosette leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12177483}.
