Name | SLC27A6 |
---|---|
Synonyms | ACSVL2, FACVL2, FATP6 |
Function | Mediates the import of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) into the cell by facilitating their transport at the plasma membrane (PubMed:12556534). Also functions as an acyl-CoA ligase catalyzing the ATP-dependent formation of fatty acyl-CoA using LCFA and very-long- chain fatty acids (VLCFA) as substrates (By similarity). Plays a pivotal role in regulating available LCFA substrates from exogenous sources in tissues undergoing high levels of beta-oxidation such as the heart (PubMed:12556534). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane, sarcolemma; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:E9Q9W4}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=In heart is exclusively located on the sarcolemma in areas juxtaposed with small blood vessels where it colocalizes CD36. |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed in heart and localizes to cardiac myocytes (PubMed:12556534). Expressed at moderate levels in placenta, testis, and adrenal glands. Expressed at very low levels in kidney, bladder and uterus. |

Background
SLC27A6 Antibody: The solute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 6 (SLC27A6) is a member of the fatty acid transport protein family (FATP), which are involved in the uptake of long-chain fatty acids. SLC27A6 is principally expressed in the heart on the sarcolemma and colocalizes with CD36, another molecule involved in the uptake of long chain fatty acids.
