Acsf3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable malonyl-CoA synthetase activity and very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process and malonate catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined malonic and methylmalonic acidemia. Orthologous to human ACSF3 (acyl-CoA synthetase family member 3).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Acsf3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
