ELOVL3 - ELOVL fatty acid elongase 3 Gene
Also Known as CIG30; CIG-30
Species: Homo sapiens
About ELOVL3
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 264 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 1.4), skin (RPKM 0.7) and 8 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the GNS1/SUR4 family. Members of this family play a role in elongation of long chain fatty acids to provide precursors for synthesis of sphingolipids and ceramides. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
