Mediates the synthesis of VLCFAs from 22 to 26 carbons in length (e.g. C22, C24, C26) (PubMed:15277688). Functionally redundant with KCS2 in the two-carbon elongation of C22 fatty acids that is required for cuticular wax and root suberin biosynthesis (PubMed:19619160).

Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. Chalcone/stilbene synthases family.
