Arachidonic acid enhances turnover of the dermal skeleton: studies on zebrafish scales.
PLoS ONE, 2014 In fish nutrition, the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 poly-unsaturated fatty acids influences skeletal development. Supplementation of fish oils with vegetable oils increases the content of omega-6 fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid in the diet ...

Production of a soluble and functional recombinant apolipoproteinD in the Pichia pastoris expression system [PDF]
, 2016 ApolipoproteinD (ApoD) is a human glycoprotein from the lipocalin family. ApoD contains a conserved central motif of an 8-stranded antiparallel β-sheet, which forms a beta-barrel that can be used for transport and storage of diverse hydrophobic ligands ...
