Function: Acyl-CoA thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH (PubMed:17613526). Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 6/ACOT6 catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytanoyl-CoA and pristanoyl-CoA, two methyl-branched fatty acids derived from phytol, that enter the body via the diet (PubMed:17613526).
