Brief Description | AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase family protein |
TAIR Computational Description | AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase family protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a peroxisomal protein involved in the activation of fatty acids through esterification with CoA. At5g63380 preferentially activates fatty acids with increased chain length (C9:0 to C8:0) and thus shares characteristics with long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthases. Also able to catalyze the conversion of OPDA to its CoA ester and is therefore thought to be involved in the peroxisomal β-oxidation steps of jasmonic acid biosynthesis. |
