ACOT8( Human )
acyl-CoA thioesterase 8
Alias
HNAACTE|NAP1|PTE-1|PTE-2|PTE1|PTE2|hACTE-III|hTE
The protein encoded by this gene is a peroxisomal thioesterase that appears to be involved more in the oxidation of fatty acids rather than in their formation. The encoded protein can bind to the human immunodeficiency virus-1 protein Nef, and mediate Nef-induced down-regulation of CD4 in T-cells. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010].
