Term Name:	long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity
Synonyms:	acyl-activating enzyme activity, acyl-CoA ligase activity, acyl-CoA synthetase activity, fatty acid thiokinase (long-chain) activity, LCFA synthetase activity, lignoceroyl-CoA synthase activity, long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase activity, long-chain acyl CoA synthetase activity, long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase activity, long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase activity, long-chain fatty acid activation, long-chain fatty acyl coenzyme A synthetase activity, long-chain-fatty-acid-CoA ligase activity, long-chain-fatty-acyl-CoA synthetase activity, pristanoyl-CoA synthetase, stearoyl-CoA synthetase, thiokinase
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: a long-chain fatty acid + ATP + CoA = a long-chain fatty acyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons.
