Background: ACSF4 (aminoadipate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase), also known as AASDH, U26, LYS2, NRPS998, NRPS1098 or acyl-CoA synthetase family member 4, is a 1,098 amino acid protein belonging to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family. Encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 4q12, ACSF4 is ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues and exists as five alternatively spliced isoforms. ACSF4 is homologous to AASDHPPT, a yeast enzyme necessary for lysine biosynthesis in lower eukaryotes. ACSF4 contains one acylcarrier domain and participates in ATP binding, ligase activity, acid-thiol ligase activity, acyl carrier activity and cofactor and nucleotide binding. ACSF4 catalyzes the initial reaction in fatty acid metabolism by forming a thioester with CoA. Conserved motifs in ACSF4 may engage in functions other than fatty acid activation.
