Abstract excerpt
ACS3 is a recently identified acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) isozyme that preferentially utilizes laurate, myristate, arachidonate, and eicosapentaenoate among saturated and unsaturated long chain fatty acids. The ACS3 purified from COS cells transfected with the ACS3 cDNA was separated by SDS-PAGE into two major forms of 79 and 80 kDa. We report here that alternative translation initiation from ACS3 mRNA gives rise...
