Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables fatty acid 2-hydroxylase activity. Involved in galactosylceramide biosynthetic process; glucosylceramide biosynthetic process; and plasma membrane raft organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including myelin maintenance; regulation of acinar cell proliferation; and sebaceous gland cell differentiation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in back skin; sebaceous gland; skin; spinal cord; and vibrissa. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia 35. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 35. Orthologous to human FA2H (fatty acid 2-hydroxylase).
