    Summary
    Enables alcohol-forming very long-chain fatty acyl-CoA reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within wax biosynthetic process. Located in peroxisome. Is expressed in alveolar sulcus; anterior naris; brain; ovary; and skin. Used to study alopecia and dry eye syndrome. Orthologous to human FAR2 (fatty acyl-CoA reductase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    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.
