ABSTRACT

By consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases. ACS is the family root name, and the human and mouse genes for the long-chain ACSs are termed ACSL1,3–6 and Acsl1,3–6, respectively. Splice variants of ACSL3, -4, -5, and -6 are cataloged.

Suggestions for naming other family members and for the nonmammalian acyl-CoA synthetases are made.

Supplementary key words acyl-coenzyme A synthetase • fatty acid-coenzyme A ligase • coenzyme A synthetase • bubblegum • fatty acid transport protein • very long chain-acyl-CoA synthetase • long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase • lipidosin • scFat2p
