Function
function
Mediates the transfer of all common phospholipids, cholesterol and gangliosides from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. May play a role in regulating steroidogenesis. Stimulates the microsomal conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. Also binds fatty acids and fatty acyl Coenzyme A (CoA) such as phytanoyl-CoA. Involved in the regulation phospholipid synthesis in endoplasmic reticulum enhancing the incorporation of exogenous fatty acid into glycerides. Seems to stimulate the rate-limiting step in phosphatidic acid formation mediated by GPAT3. Isoforms SCP2 and SCPx cooperate in peroxisomal oxidation of certain naturally occurring tetramethyl-branched fatty acyl-CoAs.
Plays a crucial role in the peroxisomal oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. Catalyzes the last step of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids and the side chain of the bile acid intermediates di- and trihydroxycoprostanic acids (DHCA and THCA). Also active with medium and long straight chain 3-oxoacyl-CoAs. Stimulates the microsomal conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol and transfers phosphatidylcholine and 7-dehydrocholesterol between membrances, in vitro. Isoforms SCP2 and SCPx cooperate in peroxisomal oxidation of certain naturally occurring tetramethyl-branched fatty acyl-CoAs.
Catalytic activity
- 3-oxo-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-CoA + CoA = (7Z)-hexadecenoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoAThis reaction proceeds in the forward direction.
- 3-oxohexadecanedioyl-CoA + CoA = tetradecanedioyl-CoA + acetyl-CoAThis reaction proceeds in the forward direction.
- 7-dehydrocholesterol(in) = 7-dehydrocholesterol(out)
- butanoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA = 3-oxohexanoyl-CoA + CoAThis reaction proceeds in the backward direction.
- decanoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA = 3-oxododecanoyl-CoA + CoAThis reaction proceeds in the backward direction.
- dodecanoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA = 3-oxotetradecanoyl-CoA + CoAThis reaction proceeds in the backward direction.
- hexadecanoyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA = 3-oxooctadecanoyl-CoA + CoAThis reaction proceeds in the backward direction.
