Description
Product Characteristics:
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.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: 3 keto acyl CoA synthase ELOVL2, 3-keto acyl-CoA synthase Elovl2, Elongation of very long chain fatty acids FEN1/Elo2, SUR4/Elo3, yeast like 2, Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 2, ELOV2_HUMAN, ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2, Elovl2, FLJ20334, OTTHUMP00000016029, SSC2, ELOVL2.
Target Information: Condensing enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of polyunsaturated very long chain fatty acid (n-6 and n-3 C18-, C20- and C22-PUFA). Essential for the formation of C24:5(n-6) up to C30:5(n-6) PUFAs in testis, these fatty acids being indispensable for normal spermatogenesis and fertility
