{"symbol":"ELOVL5","synonyms":["SCA38","DJ483K16.1","HELO1"],"name":"ELOVL fatty acid elongase 5","description":"This gene belongs to the ELO family. It is highly expressed in the adrenal gland and testis, and encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. This protein is involved in the elongation of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mutations in this gene have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia-38 (SCA38). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
