Protein name

Very long chain fatty acid elongase 4 (EC 2.3.1.199) (3-keto acyl-CoA synthase ELOVL4) (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 4) (ELOVL FA elongase 4) (Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 4) (Very long chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase 4) (Very long chain 3

Protein function

Catalyzes the first and rate-limiting reaction of the four reactions that constitute the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. This endoplasmic reticulum-bound enzymatic process allows the addition of 2 carbons to the chain of long- and very
