''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' very-long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase, also known as FadD13, is unique within its class in regards to its ability to house lipid substrates longer than itself. Most FadD class proteins exist as integral membrane proteins involved in lipid transport into the cell. FadD13 is unique structurally in that it exists as a peripheral protein on the inside of the cell membrane. This feature is key in the mechanistic basis for FadD13's transport of fatty acids of length C24-C26. | ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' very-long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase, also known as FadD13, is unique within its class in regards to its ability to house lipid substrates longer than itself.
