Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ACOT4 gene.Enzymes (play / nza mz/) are proteins that catalyze (i.e., increase or decrease the rates of) chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates, and they are converted into different molecules, called the products. Almost all processes in a biological cell need enzymes to occur at significant rates. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell.
