Summary: Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Acts upstream of or within very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including optic vesicle; pleuroperitoneal region; presumptive neural retina; solid lens vesicle; and visual system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in corneal dystrophy and spinocerebellar ataxia type 34. Orthologous to human ELOVL4 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 4).

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.
