About Far2

Summary

Enables fatty-acyl-CoA reductase (alcohol-forming) activity. Predicted to be involved in long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within wax biosynthetic process. Located in peroxisome. Is expressed in alveolar sulcus; anterior naris; brain; ovary; and skin. Used to study alopecia. Orthologous to human FAR2 (fatty acyl-CoA reductase 2).
