Rat long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase mRNA, protein, and activity vary in tissue distribution and in response to diet

Distinct isoforms of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSLs) may partition fatty Coffee Mug acids toward specific metabolic cellular pathways.For each of the five members of the rat ACSL family, we analyzed tissue mRNA distributions, and we correlated the mRNA, protein, and activity of ACSL1 and ACSL4 after fasting and refeeding a 69% sucrose diet.
