EC 2.3.1.199
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the GNS1/SUR4 family. Members of this family play a role in elongation of long chain fatty acids to provide precursors for synthesis of sphingolipids and ceramides. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that acute cold exposure (4°C for 4 hours) induced the formation of beige adipocytes in subcutaneous white adipose tissue, with RNA-sequencing identifying 714 differentially expressed genes [Liang et al. DOI:10.3390/ijms20163968].
