Summary
ELOVL7 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 7, HGNC:26292) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q12.1, encoding Very long chain fatty acid elongase 7 (A1L3X0). Catalyzes the first and rate-limiting reaction of the four reactions that constitute the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle.
Enables fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in fatty acid elongation, polyunsaturated fatty acid; fatty acid elongation, saturated fatty acid; and very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum.

Function. Catalyzes the first and rate-limiting reaction of the four reactions that constitute the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. This endoplasmic reticulum-bound enzymatic process allows the addition of 2 carbons to the chain of long- and very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) per cycle. Condensing enzyme with higher activity toward C18 acyl-CoAs, especially C18:3(n-3) acyl-CoAs and C18:3(n-6)-CoAs. Also active toward C20:4-, C18:0-, C18:1-, C18:2- and C16:0-CoAs, and weakly toward C20:0-CoA. Little or no activity toward C22:0-, C24:0-, or C26:0-CoAs. May participate in the production of saturated and polyunsaturated VLCFAs of different chain lengths that are involved in multiple biological processes as precursors of membrane lipids and lipid mediators.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with TECR.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in most tissues except heart and skeletal muscle.
Domain organisation. The C-terminal di-lysine motif may confer endoplasmic reticulum localization.
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the ELO family. ELOVL7 subfamily.
