ID:ACS2B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Acyl-coenzyme A synthetase ACSM2B, mitochondrial; EC=6.2.1.2; AltName: Full=Acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 2B; AltName: Full=Butyrate--CoA ligase 2B; AltName: Full=Butyryl-coenzyme A synthetase 2B; AltName: Full=Middle-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 2B; AltName: Full=Xenobiotic/medium-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase HXM-A; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Has medium-chain fatty acid:CoA ligase activity with broad substrate specificity (in vitro). Acts on acids from C(4) to C(11) and on the corresponding 3-hydroxy- and 2,3- or 3,4- unsaturated acids (in vitro). CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a carboxylate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA. COFACTOR: Magnesium or manganese. ENZYME REGULATION: Activated by monovalent cations, such as potassium, rubidium or ammonium. SUBUNIT: Monomer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion matrix. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in liver. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
