Gene ID: 6785 | Gene type: protein coding

About ELOVL4

Cytogenetic location: 6q14.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:79,914,814-79,947,553 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 273 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 21.8), brain (RPKM 9.7) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

This 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.
