Gene information for ELOVL4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6785
Official gene symbolELOVL4
Full nameelongation of very long chain fatty acids (FEN1/Elo2, SUR4/Elo3, yeast)-like 4
Aliases,ADMD,CT118,FLJ17667,FLJ92876,STGD2,STGD3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a membrane-bound protein which is a member of the ELO family, proteins which participate in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. Consistent with the expression of the encoded protein in photoreceptor cells of the retina, mutations and small deletions in this gene are associated with Stargardt-like macular dystrophy (STGD3) and autosomal dominant Stargardt-like macular dystrophy (ADMD), also referred to as autosomal dominant atrophic macular degeneration.
