gene: acs-22 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable long-chain fatty acid transporter activity and long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in triglyceride homeostasis. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Expressed in head neurons; hypodermis; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Is an ortholog of human SLC27A1 (solute carrier family 27 member 1) and SLC27A4 (solute carrier family 27 member 4).
