NCIt synonyms : FACL6; Fatty-Acid-Coenzyme A Ligase, Long-Chain 6 Gene; Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase 2 Gene; FLJ16173; LACS 6; LACS5; ACS2; LACS2; KIAA0837; Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long-Chain Family Member 6 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human ACSL6 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q31 and is approximately
205 kb in length. This allele, which encodes long-chain-fatty-acid-CoA ligase 6 protein,
plays a role in fatty acid metabolism. A chromosomal translocation t(5;12)(q31;p13)
of this gene with the ETV6 gene is associated with myelodysplastic syndrome with basophilia,
acute myelogenous leukemia with eosinophilia, and acute eosinophilic leukemia.;
