ACOT7( Human )
acyl-CoA thioesterase 7
Alias
ACH1|ACT|BACH|CTE-II|LACH|LACH1|hBACH
This gene encodes a member of the acyl coenzyme family. The encoded protein hydrolyzes the CoA thioester of palmitoyl-CoA and other long-chain fatty acids. Decreased expression of this gene may be associated with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms with different subcellular locations have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
