ELOVL1, SSC1, Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 1, 3-keto acyl-CoA synthase ELOVL1, ELOVL fatty acid elongase 1

ELOVL1 could be implicated in tissue-specific synthesis of very long chain fatty acids and sphingolipids. May catalyze one or both of the reduction reaction in fatty acid elongation, i.e., conversion of beta-ketoacyl CoA to beta-hydroxyacyl CoA or reduction of trans-2-enoyl CoA to the saturated acyl CoA derivative (By similarity).
