ACRC
Description
The ACRC gene, also known as the Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long-Chain Family Member 3 gene, plays a crucial role in cell division and growth. It encodes an enzyme that activates long-chain fatty acids, essential components of cell membranes and signaling molecules. ACRC is involved in various cellular processes, including lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and cell cycle regulation. Dysregulation of ACRC expression or function can contribute to the development of cancer and other diseases.
