ACSS1, Official Symbol ACSS1provided by HGNC Official Full Name acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:16091 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000154930 MIM:614355; AllianceGenome:HGNC:16091 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as ACAS2L; ACECS1; AceCS2L Summary This gene encodes a mitochondrial acetyl-CoA synthetase enzyme. A similar protein in mice plays an important role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle by catalyzing the conversion of acetate to acetyl CoA. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
