Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process; positive regulation of fatty acid biosynthetic process; and sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in dendritic tree; endoplasmic reticulum; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 38. Orthologous to human ELOVL5 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5).
