About Elovl1

Summary

Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and establishment of skin barrier. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in brain; epidermis; epidermis stratum granulosum; epidermis stratum spinosum; and skin. Orthologous to human ELOVL1 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
