Summary: Enables long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA catabolic process; response to epidermal growth factor; and response to hypoxia. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ACOT2 (acyl-CoA thioesterase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
