Summary: Enables fatty acid elongase activity. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid elongation, unsaturated fatty acid; long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process; and very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including blood; digestive system; fat cell; pleuroperitoneal region; and yolk syncytial layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 38. Orthologous to human ELOVL5 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
