Target Information

Elongation of very long chain fatty acid-like (ELOVL) proteins 1–6 are members of the ELO family of proteins, which play an important role in tissue-specific biosynthesis of very long chain fatty acids and sphingolipids.
ELOVL proteins act as catalysts in fatty acid elongation reduction and localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
ELOVL1 (also referred to as Ssc1) is the human homolog of the yeast ELO3 protein. It is expressed in various tissues, with high levels in stomach, skin, intestine, kidney, and lung.
ELOVL1 participates in the elongation of very long chain saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (up to 26 carbons) and may be required for epithelial and skin barrier development.
It is also important for myelin formation in the central nervous system. Impaired ELOVL1 activity may be associated with sphingolipid metabolism disorders.
