| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dysfunction of peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein, ABCD1, causes a severe neurodegenerative disease, X-linked adrenoleukodystophy. ABCD1 is suggested to be involved in the transport of very long chain fatty acyl-CoA, but the precise mechanism of the transport has yet to be elucidated.
It is demonstrated that ABCD1 transports very long chain fatty acyl-CoA as free very long chain fatty acid into peroxisomes through the hydrolysis of very long chain fatty acyl-CoA mediated by the acyl-CoA thioesterase activity of ABCD1 itself and that acyl-CoA thioesterase activity of ABCD1 is indispensable for this transport system.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ヒトABCD1のもつATPase活性とアシルCoAチオエステラーゼ活性が協調して極長鎖脂肪酸CoAをペルオキシソーム内へと輸送する分子機構について初めて明らかとした。また、蛍光基NBDで標識したNBD-パルミトイルCoAを基質として用いることで、ABCD1が加水分解された遊離脂肪酸を輸送基質とすることを直接検出することに初めて成功した。
