Genetic dissection of polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 30 Apr 2002

Watts Jennifer L, Browse John

Abstract excerpt

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important membrane components and precursors of signaling molecules. To investigate the roles of these fatty acids in growth, development, and neurological function in an animal system, we isolated Caenorhabditis elegans mutants deficient in PUFA synthesis...
