Gene name

ELOVL5 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

dJ483K16.1, HELO1, SCA38

Description

ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene belongs to the ELO family. It is highly expressed in the adrenal gland and testis, and encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein is involved in the elongation of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia-38 (SCA38). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
