Slc27a6

Enables very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in long-chain fatty acid import into cell and long-chain fatty acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human SLC27A6 (solute carrier family 27 member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Slc27a6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
