Regulation of hepatic fatty acid elongase 5 by LXRα–SREBP-1c

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2009
Dietary essential fatty acids linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid are converted to arachidonic-, eicosapentaenoic-, and docosahexaenoic acid under tight regulation by nutritional status and hormones. Hepatic fatty acid elongase 5 (Elovl5) elongates C18-20 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and is important for biosynthesis of C20-22 PUFAs.

The fatty acid elongase gene LmELO7 is required for hydrocarbon biosynthesis and cuticle permeability in the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria.

Journal of insect physiology, 2020
Insect cuticular lipids are a complex cocktail of highly diverse cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs), which form a hydrophobic surface coat to maintain water balance and to prevent desiccation and penetration of exogenous substances. Fatty acid elongases (ELOs)

Dual fatty acid elongase complex interactions in Arabidopsis

2014
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].

Structural and functional analysis of plant ELO-like elongase for fatty acid elongation

Plant Molecular Biology
ELO-like elongase is a condensing enzyme elongating long chain fatty acids in eukaryotes. Eranthis hyemalis ELO-like elongase (EhELO1) is the first higher plant ELO-type elongase that is highly active in elongating a wide range of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and some monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs).
