| Primary Identifier | IPR030457 | Type | Conserved_site |
| Short Name | ELO_CS |
| description | This entry represents a conserved site found in the ELO (Elongation of fatty acids protein) family members, such as:Mammalian proteins ELOVL1 (Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 1) to ELOVL4 []. These proteins all seem to beinvolved in the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids.Yeast ELO1, ELO2 and ELO3 []. They seem to be components of membrane-boundfatty acid elongation systems.Caenorhabditis elegans hypothetical protein C40H1.4.Caenorhabditis elegans hypothetical protein D2024.3.The proteins have from 271 to 435 amino acid residues. Structurally, they seemto be formed of three sections: a N-terminal region with two transmembranedomains, a central hydrophilic loop and a C-terminal region that contains fromone to three transmembrane domains. This entry represents aconserved region that contains three histidines. This region is located in thehydrophilic loop. |
