ACSS1
Official Full Name
acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 1
Background
An acetyl-CoA synthetase found in the mitochondrial matrix has been characterized in both cow and mouse. It is primarily a cardiac enzyme which produces acetyl-CoA mainly for the oxidation of acetate. The protein encoded by this gene is structurally similar to the cow and mouse proteins and therefore may serve a similar function in humans.
