Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables several functions, including fatty acid-CoA ligase activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in glucose import in response to insulin stimulus; long-chain fatty acid import into cell; and positive regulation of triglyceride biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adiponectin-activated signaling pathway; fatty acid transport; and response to insulin. Located in basal plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; phalanx; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC27A1 (solute carrier family 27 member 1).
