ID:S27A5_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Bile acyl-CoA synthetase; Short=BACS; EC=6.2.1.7; AltName: Full=Bile acid-CoA ligase; Short=BA-CoA ligase; Short=BAL; AltName: Full=Cholate--CoA ligase; AltName: Full=Fatty acid transport protein 5; Short=FATP-5; AltName: Full=Fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase, very long-chain 3; AltName: Full=Solute carrier family 27 member 5; AltName: Full=Very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase homolog 2; Short=VLCS-H2; Short=VLCSH2; AltName: Full=Very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase-related protein; Short=VLACS-related; Short=VLACSR; FUNCTION: Acyl-CoA synthetase involved in bile acid metabolism. Proposed to catalyze the first step in the conjugation of C24 bile acids (choloneates) to glycine and taurine before excretion into bile canaliculi by activating them to their CoA thioesters. Seems to activate secondary bile acids entering the liver from the enterohepatic circulation. In vitro, also activates 3-alpha,7- alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanate (THCA), the C27 precursor of cholic acid deriving from the de novo synthesis from cholesterol. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + cholate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + choloyl-CoA. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + (25R)-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha- trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestan-26-oate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + (25R)-3-alpha,7-alpha,12-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-cholestanoyl-CoA. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Predominantly expressed 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.
