Identification and Functional Characterization of Genes Encoding Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthetic Activities from Unicellular Microalgae

Marine Drugs, 2013
In order to identify novel genes encoding enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of nutritionally important omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, a database search was carried out in the genomes of the unicellular photoautotrophic green alga ...

Molecular basis for differential elongation of omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid by the rat Elovl5 and Elovl2[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Functional characterization of the rat elongases, Elovl5 and Elovl2, has identified that Elovl2 is crucial for omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (22:6n-3) synthesis.

Cloning and functional characterisation of polyunsaturated fatty acid elongases of marine and freshwater teleost fish [PDF]

, 2005
Enzymes that lengthen the carbon chain of polyunsaturated fatty acids are key to the biosynthesis of the highly unsaturated fatty acids, arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids from linoleic and α-linolenic acids.
