Deficiencies in C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids cause behavioral and developmental defects in Caenorhabditis elegans fat-3 mutants.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2003

Watts Jennifer L, Phillips Eric, Griffing Katharine R, Browse John

Abstract excerpt

Arachidonic acid and other long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important structural components of membranes and are implicated in diverse signaling pathways. The Delta6 desaturation of linoleic and linolenic acids is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of these molecules. C. el...
