Comments

Comment Type Description
Catalytic Activity A very-long-chain acyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA = CoA + a very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA + CO(2).
Domain The di-lysine motif may confer endoplasmic reticulum localization.
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. {ECO
Pathway Lipid metabolism; polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO
Similarity Belongs to the ELO family.
Subcellular Location Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
Tissue Specificity Liver and testis.
