Anti-LCE antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the LCE antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the ELOVL6 gene, which encodes ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6. This protein is known to function in the metabolism of lipids, among other biological roles. The human version of LCE has a canonical amino acid length of 265 residues and a protein mass of 31.4 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the ER of cells. LCE is a member of the ELO protein family.
