Protein
Elongation of fatty acids protein 1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Component of a microsomal membrane bound medium-chain fatty acid elongation system, which extends medium-chain-length fatty acids to long-chain fatty acids. Component of elongase I, which extends 12-16-carbon fatty acyl-CoAs such as lauroyl-CoA to 14-18-carbon fatty acids by incorporation of malonyl-CoA.
Similarity
Belongs to the ELO family.
