Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * ACSL3 is a transmembrane protein that is localized to the cell surface. * It is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAAs). * It is also involved in the regulation of insulin secretion. **Pathways and functions:** * ACSL3 is involved in the synthesis of VLCFAAs, which are a class of fatty acids that are essential for a variety of cellular processes. * VLCFAAs are also involved in the regulation of insulin secretion. * They are produced by the liver and transported to the cells. * Once in the cells, VLCFAAs are used to synthesize other lipids, such as choline and sphingolipids. * They are also used to regulate the activity of other enzymes, such as lipase enzymes. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in ACSL3 have been linked to the development of several eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). * In AMD, the protein is expressed in the retinal pigment epithelial cells, which are responsible for producing the pigment that gives the eyes their color. * Mutations in ACSL3 can lead to the accumulation of VLCFAAs in the retina, which can damage the pigment epithelial cells and lead to the development of AMD. * Therefore, ACSL3 is a promising target for the treatment of AMD.
