ACOT7 is a member of the acyl coenzyme family. This protein hydrolyzes the CoA thioester of palmitoyl-CoA and other long-chain fatty acids. Decreased expression of this protein may be associated with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms with different subcellular locations have been characterized.Synonyms: Acyl-CoA thioesterase 7, Brain acyl-CoA hydrolase, Cytosolic acyl coenzyme A thioester hydrolase, Long chain acyl-CoA thioester hydrolase
