?cl00221: ACBP Superfamily (this model, PSSM-Id:412233 is obsolete and has been replaced by 469667)
Acyl CoA binding protein (ACBP) binds thiol esters of long fatty acids and coenzyme A in a one-to-one binding mode with high specificity and affinity. Acyl-CoAs are important intermediates in fatty lipid synthesis and fatty acid degradation and play a role in regulation of intermediary metabolism and gene regulation. The suggested role of ACBP is to act as a intracellular acyl-CoA transporter and pool former. ACBPs are present in a large group of eukaryotic species and several tissue-specific isoforms have been detected.
