Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionelo-2 encodes a palmitic acid elongase, homologous to polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) elongases such as ELO-1, that is required for normally rapid growth, normally large body size, fertility, and for the quantitative regulation of the ultradian defecation rhythm; the joint action of ELO-2 with ELO-1 is strongly required for 20-carbon PUFA production and for general viability; loss of el-2 activity via RNAi also results in decreased intestinal dipeptide transport and increased fat droplet size; elo-2 is most strongly expressed in intestinal cells, as well as other tissues such as the ventral nerve cord, pharyngeal muscles, uterus, and tail.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004162

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable fatty acid elongase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; lipid metabolic process; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in intestine; pharyngeal muscle cell; tail; uterus; and ventral nerve cord. Is an ortholog of human ELOVL3 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 3) and ELOVL6 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Remarkelo-2 was previously incorrectly connected to C40H1.4 [021023 ck1]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
