Catalytic activity:ATP + a long-chain carboxylic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA.,Function:Mediates activation of long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. Able to activate long-chain fatty acids. Also able to activate very long-chain fatty acids; however, the relevance of such activity is unclear in vivo. Can activate diverse saturated, monosaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.,similarity:Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family. Bubblegum subfamily.,tissue specificity:Expressed primarily in brain. Expressed at lower level in testis and adrenal gland. Present in all regions of brain except pituitary.,
