The family of proteins that includes very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSVL) consists
of six members. These enzymes have also been designated fatty acid transport proteins. We
cloned full-length mouse Acsvl3 cDNA and characterized its protein product ACSVL3/fatty
acid transport protein 3. The predicted amino acid sequence contains two highly conserved
motifs characteristic of acyl-CoA synthetases. Northern blot analysis revealed that the mouse
Acsvl3 mRNA is highly expressed in adrenal gland, testis, and ovary, with lower expression …
