Summary: Enables fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in fatty acid elongation, saturated fatty acid. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including ganglia; gonad; gut section; imaginal disc; and presumptive embryonic/larval system. Orthologous to several human genes including ELOVL6 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
