Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 13, also known ACOT13, belongs to the thioesterase subfamily of esterase family. Highly expressed in kidney with moderate expression in brain, liver and intestines, ACOT13 contains a hotdog-fold and is thought to co-localize with microtubules, possibly playing a role in cellular proliferation events. Deletion of a portion of the q arm of chromosome 6 is associated with early onset intestinal cancer, suggesting the presence of a cancer susceptibility locus. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-140 from human ACOT13, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
