Background
This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA thioesterase family which catalyse the conversion of activated fatty acids to the corresponding non-esterified fatty acid and coenzyme A. Expression of a mouse homolog in brown adipose tissue is induced by low temperatures and repressed by warm temperatures. Higher levels of expression of the mouse homolog has been found in obesity-resistant mice compared with obesity-prone mice, suggesting a role of acyl-CoA thioesterase 11 in obesity. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010],
Function
function:Has acyl-CoA thioesterase activity towards medium (C12) and long-chain (C18) fatty acyl-CoA substrates.,induction:By cold exposure and repressed by heat exposure.,similarity:Contains 1 START domain.,similarity:Contains 2 acyl coenzyme A hydrolase domains.,tissue specificity:Isoform 1 is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle, liver, testis, stomach, spleen, lung and brain. Isoform 2 is predominantly expressed in kidney, uterus, hibernoma and white adipose tissue.,
