Structured_description Provisional_description The elo-8 gene encodes a paralog of elo-1 and elo-2, each of which encodes a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) elongase; elo-8 has no known function in vivo. Paper_evidence WBPaper00004162

elo-8(RNAi) animals in mass assays are phenotypically normal.
It is likely that elo-8 encodes an elongase component, but its actual biochemical activity is not yet known.
Concise_descriptionThe elo-8 gene encodes a paralog of elo-1 and elo-2, each of which encodes a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) elongase; elo-8 has no known function in vivo.

RemarkSequence connection updated based on email from [Schwarz EM]. Previously connected to Y47D3A.14 but this was split into two genes, with elo-8 reassigned to the new gene. [krb 02/04/04]
