The Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acid Synthase Is Inhibited by Chloroacetamides
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2004 Abstract The first elongation step to form very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) is catalyzed by the VLCFA-synthase. CoA-activated fatty acids react with malonyl-CoA to condense a C2-unit. As shown with recombinant enzyme this reaction is specifically inhibited by chloroacetamide herbicides. The inhibition is alleviated when the inhibitor

Very long-chain saturated fatty acids and diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2021 Purpose of review In contrast to other saturated fatty acids, very long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLSFAs) have received limited attention The purpose of this review is to summarize the associations of VLSFAs, including arachidic acid, behenic acid, and lignoceric acid, with cardiovascular disease outcomes and type 2 diabetes;

How very-long-chain fatty acids could signal stressful conditions in plants?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Although encountered in minor amounts in plant cells, very-long-chain fatty acids exert crucial functions in developmental processes. When their levels is perturbed by means of genetic approaches, marked phenotypic consequences that range from severe ...

Very-Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency: Family Impact and Perspectives
International Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2023 Very-Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (VLCADD) is a fatty acid oxidation disorder characterized by the decreased ability of the enzyme very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase to break down fatty acids with 14 to 20-long carbon chains.

Distribution of molecular species of sphingomyelins in different parts of bovine digestive tract
Journal of Lipid Research, 1975 Sphingomyelins were isolated from mucosal layers of bovine rennet stomach, duodenum, jejunoileum, and colon ascendens. The ceramides obtained after phospholipase degradation were characterized by thin-layer chromatography, mass spectrometry, and gas ...

Retinal Sphingolipids and Their Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acid–Containing Species [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2010 Recent evidence suggests that ceramide metabolism plays an important role in retinal photoreceptor cell survival and apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to characterize sphingolipids in the retina with special emphasis on the very-long-chain-containing saturated (VLC-FA) and polyunsaturated (VLC-PUFA) fatty acid-containing species. The VLC-FAs and

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016 Thraustochytrium, a unicellular marine protist, has been used as a commercial source of very long chain PUFAs (VLCPUFAs) such as DHA (22:6n-3). Our recent work indicates coexistence of a Δ4-desaturation-dependent pathway (aerobic) and a polyketide ...
