== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the reduction of saturated but not unsaturated C16 or C18 fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. A lower activity can be observed with shorter fatty acyl-CoA substrates (PubMed:15220348). It may play a role in the production of ether lipids/plasmalogens and wax monoesters which synthesis requires fatty alcohols as substrates (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8WVX9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15220348}.
