Molecular cloning and characterization of the murine acyl-CoA thioesterase CTE-I
(2004-04-23)
Mouse cytosolic type I acyl-CoA thioesterase (CTE-I) is a member of the
type I family of acylCoA thioesterases. These enzymes hydrolyze acyl-CoAs
to non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and Coenzyme A (CoA-SH) and are
strongly ...
