Isolation and functional characterization of polyunsaturated fatty acid elongase (AsELOVL5) gene from black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii)

, 2012
To identify the genes encoding fatty acid elongases for the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), we isolated a cDNA via degenerate PCR and RACE-PCR from Acanthopagrus schlegelii with a high similarity to the ELOVL5-like elongases of ...

Metabolic engineering of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in plants using different ∆6- and ∆5-desaturases co-expressed with LPCAT from the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Scientific Reports
Continuous research on obtaining an even more efficient production of very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs) in plants remains one of the main challenges of scientists working on plant lipids.

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish: recent advances on desaturases and elongases involved in their biosynthesis

, 2011
The pathways of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) biosynthesis have been extensively investigated in farmed fish both for determining the specific dietary essential fatty acids that guarantee optimal growth and development in captivity, and

Data from: Divergence of cuticular hydrocarbons in two sympatric grasshopper species and the evolution of fatty acid synthases and elongases across insects

, 2016
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) play a major role in the evolution of reproductive isolation between insect species. The CHC profiles of two closely related sympatric grasshopper species, Chorthippus biguttulus and C.

Modulatory effect of Echium plantagineum oil on the n-3 LC-PUFA biosynthetic capacity of chicken (Gallus gallus)

Poultry Science
Poultry can be a sustainable source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) through the bioconversion of dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3).

Dual Fatty Acid Elongase Complex Interactions in Arabidopsis

, 2015
Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are required for the synthesis of triacylglycerols, waxes, phospholipids and sphingolipids. Fatty acyl chain length is essential for plant development in particular for membrane trafficking during cell division and cell differentiation [1–3].

Conservation of desaturase and elongases in a Brazilian freshwater carnivorous teleost: The red piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri)

Boletim do Instituto de Pesca
The endogenous biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in fish is species specific and depends on several factors, such as trophic level, feeding habits, environmental characteristics, taxonomic position and mainly the ...

Biochemical and molecular studies of the polyunsaturated fatty acid desaturation pathway in fish [PDF]

, 2003
Fish have an absolute dietary requirement for certain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) termed “essential fatty acids” (EFA) that include members of both the n-6 and n-3 series typified by linoleic acid, 18:2n-6, and α-linolenic acid, 18:3n-3.

Solubilization of C18-Co A and C20-CoA elongases from Allium porrum L. epidermal cell microsomes

, 1985
The effects of n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, Triton X-100 and deoxycholate on acyl-CoA elongation by Allium porrum L. epidermal cell microsomes showed that the Triton X-100 specifically stimulated the synthesis of C22–C26 acids using C18-CoA as primer ...
