Revised nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase gene family

By consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases. ACS is the family root name, and the human and mouse genes for the long-chain ACSs are termed...

description By consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases. ACS is the family root name, and the human and mouse genes for the long-chain ACSs are termed ACSL1,3–6 and Acsl1,3–6, respectively. Splice variants of ACSL3, -4, -5, and -6 are cataloged.Suggestions for naming other family members and for the nonmammalian acyl-CoA synthetases are made.

Center for Advanced Genome Research, Institute of Development, Aging, and Cancer, Tohoku University, Sendai 981-8555, JapanBy consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases. ACS is the family root name, and the human and mouse genes for the long-chain ACSs are termed ACSL1,3–6 and Acsl1,3–6, respectively. Splice variants of ACSL3, -4, -5, and -6 are cataloged.Suggestions for naming other family members and for the nonmammalian acyl-CoA synthetases are made.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022227520312700acyl-coenzyme A synthetasefatty acid-coenzyme A ligasecoenzyme A synthetasebubblegumfatty acid transport proteinvery long chain-acyl-CoA synthetase
