ACOT7
Cytosolic
acyl coenzyme A
thioester
hydrolase
is an
enzyme
that in
humans
is encoded by the
ACOT7
gene
.
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.
