Name Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 2
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. 3-keto acyl-CoA synthase ELOVL2
  2. ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2
  3. Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA synthase 2
  4. ELOVL FA elongase 2
Gene Name ELOVL2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process
Specific Function Condensing enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of polyunsaturated very long chain fatty acid (C20- and C22-PUFA). Acts specifically toward polyunsaturated acyl-CoA with the higher activity toward C20:4(n-6) acyl-CoA.
