Enables the directed movement of fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + H2O + fatty acyl CoA(cis) = ADP + phosphate + fatty acyl CoA(trans). The transport of fatty acyl CoA into and out of peroxisomes. Enables the directed movement of long-chain fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells. Long-chain fatty acids have a chain length of greater than 12 carbons. Catalysis of the transfer of long-chain fatty acids from one side of the membrane to the other. Long-chain fatty acids have a chain length of greater than 12 carbons. This transporter is a porin and so enables the energy independent passage of substances, sized less than 1000 Da, across a membrane. The transmembrane portions of porins consist exclusively of beta-strands which form a beta-barrel. They are found in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, plastids and possibly acid-fast Gram-positive bacteria. Enables the directed movement of lipids into, out of, within or between cells.
