Background
Lipogenesis is a key event in the energy storage system and is controlled by the transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1. Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 7 (ELOVL7) is a member of fatty acyl-CoA elongase gene family that elongates saturated very-long-chain fatty acids (SVLFA, C20:0-) and has been suggested to be involved in prostate cancer growth through saturated long-chain fatty acid metabolism. The metabolic pathways of long-chain fatty acids play an important role in the maintenance of membrane lipid composition and the generation of cell signaling precursor molecules such as eicosanoids and sphingosine-1 phosphate. Overexpression of ELOVL7 results in lipid accumulation in differentiated adipocytes, its expression is regulated by the microRNA miR-219.Synonyms: 3-keto acyl-CoA synthase ELOVL7, Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 7
