Elovl5

ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5

Enables fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in fatty acid derivative biosynthetic process and fatty acid metabolic process. Is active in 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, Jul 2025]
