Enables oleoyl-CoA ligase activity and very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Involved in glucose import in response to insulin stimulus; long-chain fatty acid import into cell; and negative regulation of all-trans-retinyl-ester hydrolase, 11-cis retinol forming activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; fatty acid transport; and skin development. Located in brush border membrane; endoplasmic reticulum; and microvillus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; nervous system; skin; and urinary system.
