Summary: Predicted to enable long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid metabolic process; long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA catabolic process; and response to hypoxia. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ACOT2 (acyl-CoA thioesterase 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
