    Also known as
    fatty acid reductase 4
    Summary
    Encodes a member of the eight-member gene family encoding alcohol-forming fatty acyl-CoA reductases (FARs) identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. Three of the FARs, FAR1 (At5g22500), FAR4 (At3g44540) and FAR5 (At3g44550), are shown to generate the fatty alcohols found in root, seed coat, and wound-induced leaf tissue.
