Class

Catalysis of the reaction: a very long-chain fatty acyl-CoA + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ = a very long-chain primary fatty alcohol + 2 NADP+ + CoA.

While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283).
