  • located exclusively in mitochondria
  • basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the initial reaction in fatty acid metabolism, by forming a thioester with CoA
  • acting as an acid-thiol ligase
  • thioesterify substrates into CoA derivatives and weakly activated C24:0 fatty acid
  • mitochondrial methylmalonyl-CoA and Malonyl coA synthetase, an enzyme postulated to catalyze the first step of intramitochondrial fatty acid synthesis
  • acyl-CoA synthetase with extremely high specificity for malonate and methylmalonate
  • mitochondrial ACSF3 enzyme is capable of filling this role by utilizing free malonic acid as substrate
