• The protein encoded by this gene possesses long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase activity. It is thought to play a central role in brain very long-chain fatty acids metabolism and myelinogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
  

ACSBG1 (Acyl-CoA Synthetase Bubblegum Family Member 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ACSBG1 include Epilepsy, Idiopathic Generalized 13 and Vulvar Leiomyosarcoma. Among its related pathways are Fatty acid metabolism and arachidonate biosynthesis III (metazoa). Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity and very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. An important paralog of this gene is ACSBG2.
