Function Activates endogenous medium-chain (MCFA) and long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) by esterification of the fatty acids into metabolically active CoA-thioesters for subsequent degradation or incorporation into phospholipids. Preferentially acts on C9:0-C13:0 fatty acids although C7:0-C17:0 fatty acids are tolerated. Is the main if not exclusive MCFA (octanoate, decanoate and laureate) acyl-CoA ligase. Required for efficient MCFA beta-oxidation inside peroxisomes. Facilitates the transport of MCFAs into peroxisomes by passive diffusion, by decreasing the intraorganellar MCFA concentration. Also esterifies LCFAs in the peroxisome matrix. The LCFAs are actively transported into peroxisomes by a PXA1-PXA2 heterodimeric transporter in the peroxisomal membrane.
