Elongase
Elongase is a generic term for an enzyme that catalyzes carbon chain extension of an organic molecule, especially a fatty acid.[1] Elongases play a variety of roles in mammalian organisms, accounting for changes in tissue function, lipid regulation, and the overall physiology of an organism.[1]
