Gene:
elongation of very long chain fatty acids (FEN1/Elo2, SUR4/Elo3, yeast)-like 1
Gene ID:
194455
Symbol:
ELOVL1
Species:
1000
Description:
Could be implicated in tissue-specific synthesis of very long chain fatty acids and sphingolipids. May catalyze one or both of the reduction reaction in fatty acid elongation, i.e., conversion of beta-ketoacyl CoA to beta-hydroxyacyl CoA or reduction of trans-2-enoyl CoA to the saturated acyl CoA derivative (By similarity).
