Elovl2 - ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2 Gene

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 498728

Summary

Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process and sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within very long-chain fatty acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human ELOVL2 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
