This gene encodes a member of the thioesterase superfamily. In humans, the protein co-localizes with microtubules and is essential for sustained cell proliferation. The orthologous mouse protein forms a homotetramer and is associated with mitochondria. The mouse protein functions as a medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA thioesterase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene

생화학적/생리학적 작용
ACOT13 (Acyl-CoA thioesterase 13) is highly involved in the regulation of hepatic lipid and glucose homeostasis. It maintains the intracellular concentration of hepatic free fatty acids (FFAs) and fatty acyl-CoAs under physiological conditions by forming a complex with phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PC-TP). In liver, it controls the β-oxidation of fatty acids, which is highly crucial for entry of fatty acyl-CoAs into mitochondria.

Members of the acyl-CoA thioesterase (Acot) gene family catalyze the hydrolysis of fatty acyl-CoAs, but their biological functions remain unknown. Thioesterase superfamily member 2 (Them2; synonym Acot13) is a broadly expressed mitochondria-associated Acot. Them2 was previously identified as an interacting
