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. Displays high levels of activity on medium- and long chain acyl CoAs.
Sequence Caution Sequence=AAC42007.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=215, 226; Evidence= ;
Similarity Belongs to the C/M/P thioester hydrolase family.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion .
Tissue Specificity Strongest expression in heart, liver, muscle and kidney. Weak in placenta and pancreas.
