Summary: Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in long-chain fatty acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult fat body; embryonic dorsal epidermis; embryonic epipharynx; embryonic head epidermis; and gut section. Used to study adrenoleukodystrophy. Orthologous to human ELOVL1 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 1) and ELOVL7 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
