ELOVL3, CIG30, Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 3, 3-keto acyl-CoA synthase ELOVL3, Cold-inducible glycoprotein of 30 kDa, ELOVL fatty acid elongase 3, ELOVL FA elongase 3
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],domain:The di-lysine motif confers endoplasmic reticulum localization for type I membrane proteins.,function:May be involved in a membrane event related to cellular proliferation in brown adipose tissue. Could be implicated in synthesis of very long chain fatty acids and sphingolipids. May catalyze one or both of the reduction reaction in fatty acid elongation, i.e., conversion of beta-ketoacyl CoA to beta-hydroxyacyl CoA or reduction of trans-2-enoyl CoA to the saturated acyl CoA derivative.,similarity:Belongs to the ELO family.,
