Summary
Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and establishment of skin barrier. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in brain; epidermis; epidermis stratum granulosum; epidermis stratum spinosum; and skin. Orthologous to human ELOVL1 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
