DEHA2G10780g

Gene
DEHA2G10780g
Protein
Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA reductase
Organism
Debaryomyces hansenii (strain ATCC 36239 / CBS 767 / JCM 1990 / NBRC 0083 / IGC 2968)
Length
346 amino acids
Function
Component of the microsomal membrane bound fatty acid elongation system, which produces the 26-carbon very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) from palmitate. Catalyzes the reduction of the 3-ketoacyl-CoA intermediate that is formed in each cycle of fatty acid elongation. VLCFAs serve as precursors for ceramide and sphingolipids.
Similarity
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
