Acsm2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable benzoate-CoA ligase activity; fatty-acyl-CoA synthase activity; and medium-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in acyl-CoA metabolic process and fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cranium; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Orthologous to several human genes including ACSM2B (acyl-CoA synthetase medium chain family member 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Acsm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
