Protein: Fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1 (FAR1) (EC 1.2.1.84) (Male sterility domain-containing protein 2) (Q8WVX9)
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Catalyzes the reduction of saturated and unsaturated C16 or C18 fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. It plays an essential role in the production of ether lipids/plasmalogens which synthesis requires fatty alcohols. In parallel, it is also required for wax monoesters production since fatty alcohols also constitute a substrate for their synthesis (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Peroxisome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24108123}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24108123}.
