这个基因编码硫酯酶超家族的一个成员在人类中，这种蛋白质与微管共同定位，是维持细胞增殖所必需的同源小鼠蛋白形成同四聚体，与线粒体有关。小鼠蛋白具有中、长链酰基辅酶A硫酯酶的功能。已发现该基因编码不同亚型的多个转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2009年5月]
This gene encodes a member of the thioesterase superfamily. In humans, the protein co-localizes with microtubules and is essential for sustained cell proliferation. The orthologous mouse protein forms a homotetramer and is associated with mitochondria. The mouse protein functions as a medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA thioesterase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
