Comments
Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityA very-long-chain acyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA = CoA + a very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA + CO(2).
DomainThe di-lysine motif may confer endoplasmic reticulum localization. {ECO:0000250}.
FunctionCondensing enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of saturated and polyunsaturated very long chain fatty acids. Highest activity toward C18 acyl-CoAs (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
SimilarityBelongs to the ELO family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
