Summary: Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process and sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in corneal dystrophy and spinocerebellar ataxia type 34. Orthologous to human ELOVL4 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
