QuickView for ELOVL5 (gene)


Gene Symbol:
ELOVL5 Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5
Synonyms:
HELO1, SCA38, dJ483K16.1, elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 5, 3-keto acyl-CoA synthase ELOVL5, ELOVL FA elongase 5, ELOVL family member 5, elongation of long chain fatty acids (FEN1/Elo2, SUR4/Elo3-like, yeast), fatty acid elongase 1, homolog of yeast long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid elongation enzyme 2, spinocerebellar ataxia 38, very long chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase 5, very long chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA synthase 5
Genomic Location:
Chr 6: 53240155-53321901
Description:
This gene belongs to the ELO family. It is highly expressed in the adrenal gland and testis, and encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein is involved in the elongation of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia-38 (SCA38...
