Elovl3 - elongation of very long chain fatty acids (FEN1/Elo2, SUR4/Elo3, yeast)-like 3

Predicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in brown fat; embryo; head; and skin. Orthologous to human ELOVL3 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 3).
