Acot1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Acts upstream of or within long-chain fatty acid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ACOT1 (acyl-CoA thioesterase 1) and ACOT2 (acyl-CoA thioesterase 2). [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 Acot1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Dienelactone hydrolase family
- alpha/beta hydrolases
