Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a chemically-induced allele are sterile and growth retarded, show a reduced cerebellar cortex, hyperspiny Purkinje cells, an atrophic dendritic tree and signs of axonal degeneration, and develop a fatal disease characterized by abnormal motor behavior and cerebellar symptoms.

Elovl5 [Search on AGR]
Rattus norvegicus Enables fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in fatty acid elongation, polyunsaturated fatty acid and very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in dendritic tree; endoplasmic reticulum; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 38. Orthologous to human ELOVL5 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5); PARTICIPATES IN alpha-linolenic acid metabolic pathway; linoleic acid metabolic pathway; unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic pathway; INTERACTS WITH 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 17beta-estradiol; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine.
