Length:271

Mass:32060

Sequence:MDTSMNFSRGLKMDLMQPYDFETFQDLRPFLEEYWVSSFLIVVVYLLLIVVGQTYMRTRKSFSLQRPLILWSFFLAIFSILGTLRMWKFMATVMFTVGLKQTVCFAIYTDDAVVRFWSFLFLLSKVVELGDTAFIILRKRPLIFVHWYHHSTVLLFTSFGYKNKVPSGGWFMTMNFGVHSVMYTYYTMKAAKLKHPNLLPMVITSLQILQMVLGTIFGILNYIWRQEKGCHTTTEHFFWSFMLYGTYFILFAHFFHRAYLRPKGKVASKSQ

Tissue specificity:Expressed in brown adipose tissue and liver. In the skin, strong expressed in the cells of the inner layer of the outer root sheath of the hair follicles and in the sebocytes of the sebaceous glands. Hardly detectable in the epidermis and not at all in fibroblasts. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14581464, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9395518}.

Induction:Strongly up-regulated in brown adipose tissue in conditions of brown fat recruitment, such as cold stress, perinatal development and after diet-induced thermogenesis. A synergistic action of both catecholamines and glucocorticoids is required for the induction.

Developmental stage:

Protein families:ELO family, ELOVL3 subfamily
