elo-2

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan; lipid metabolic process; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Expressed in intestine; pharyngeal muscle cell; tail; uterus; and ventral nerve cord. Is an ortholog of human ELOVL3 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 3) and ELOVL6 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6).
