ACOT7, Official Symbol ACOT7provided by HGNC Official Full Name acyl-CoA thioesterase 7provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:24157 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000097021 MIM:602587; AllianceGenome:HGNC:24157 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 ACT; ACH1; BACH; LACH; LACH1; hBACH; CTE-II Summary 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.
