NCBI Protein Information
AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase family protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a peroxisomal protein involved in the activation of fatty acids through esterification with CoA. At5g63380 preferentially activates fatty acids with increased chain length (C9:0 to C8:0) and thus shares characteristics with long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthases. Also able to catalyze the conversion of OPDA to its CoA ester and is therefore thought to be involved in the peroxisomal beta-oxidation steps of jasmonic acid biosynthesis.

UniProt Comments
Contributes to jasmonic acid biosynthesis by initiating the beta-oxidative chain shortening of its precursors. Converts 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) into OPDA-CoA.
