The acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain (ACSM) family is comprised of ACSM1, ACSM2A, ACSM2B, ACSM3, ACSM4 and ACSM5, which encode for enzymes catalyzing the activation of medium-chain length fatty acids. ACSM3 is a 586 amino acid protein has a broad substrate specificity and utilizes magnesium as a cofactor. The gene encoding ACSM3 maps to human chromosome 16, which encodes over 900 genes and comprises nearly 3% of the human genome. The GAN gene is located on chromosome 16 and, with mutation, may lead to giant axonal neuropathy, a nervous system disorder characterized by increasing malfunction with growth. The rare disorder Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is also associated with chromosome 16, as is Crohn's disease, which is a gastrointestinal inflammatory condition.
