About Aacs

Summary

Enables acetoacetate-CoA Ligase activity and butyrate-CoA Ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; cellular response to lipid; and positive regulation of Insulin secretion. Located in cytosol. Biomarker of obesity. Orthologous to human AACS (acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
