Protein: Fatty acid elongase 2 (EC 2.3.1.199) (3-keto acyl-CoA synthase ELO2) (Elongation of fatty acids protein 2) (Fenpropimorph resistance protein 1) (Glucan synthesis protein 1) (Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA synthase 2) (v-SNARE bypass mutant gene 2 protein) (P25358)
Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast)
Function: Component of a microsomal membrane-bound long-chain fatty acid elongation system, which produces the 20-26-carbon very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) from long-chain fatty acid precursors and is involved ceramide and inositol sphingolipid biosynthesis. Component of elongase II, which elongates 16-18 carbon fatty acyl-CoAs such as palmitoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA to 20-22-carbon fatty acids by incorporation of malonyl-CoA. Involved in the synthesis of 1,3-beta-glucan. The enzymes active site faces the cytosol, whereas VLCFA length is determined by a lysine near the luminal end of transmembrane helix 6. Plays an important role in lipotoxic cell death induced by oleic acid through maintaining a balanced fatty acid composition in thr plasma membrane.
