Elovl5 - ELOVL family member 5, elongation of long chain fatty acids (yeast) Gene

Also Known as HELO1; 1110059L23Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 68801

Summary

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 act upstream of or within fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in dendritic tree; endoplasmic reticulum; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be integral component of 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
