Lcf1 [SPBC18H10.02.1]
long-chain-fatty-acid-CoA ligase Lcf1; Esterification, concomitant with transport, of exogenous long-chain fatty acids into metabolically active CoA thioesters for subsequent degradation or incorporation into phospholipids. It may supplement intracellular myristoyl-CoA pools from exogenous myristate. Preferentially acts on C12:0-C16:0 fatty acids with myristic and pentadecanic acid (C15:0) having the highest activities (By similarity). Appears to play a role in the maintenance of cell viability during stationary phase.
