Protein Information
Name	ACSL4
Synonyms	ACS4, FACL4, LACS4
Function	Catalyzes the conversion of long-chain fatty acids to their active form acyl-CoA for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation (PubMed:21242590, PubMed:22633490, PubMed:24269233, PubMed:31061331, PubMed:38720107). Preferentially activates arachidonate and eicosapentaenoate as substrates (PubMed:21242590). Preferentially activates 8,9-EET > 14,15-EET > 5,6- EET > 11,12-EET (PubMed:21242590). Modulates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by regulating the levels of unesterified EETs (By similarity). Modulates prostaglandin E2 secretion (PubMed:21242590). Acts as an activator of ferroptosis by activating polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially arachidonate and adrenate, to their active form, generating the primary lipid-peroxidation substrates that contribute to ferroptosis (PubMed:27842070, PubMed:35027735, PubMed:38720107).
