Monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids play an essential role in Caenorhabditis elegans development.

PLoS biology - 1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

Monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids (mmBCFAs) are commonly found in many organisms from bacteria to mammals. In humans, they have been detected in skin, brain, blood, and cancer cells. Despite a broad distribution, mmBCFAs remain exotic in eukaryotes, where their origin and physiological roles are not understood. Here we report our study of the function and regulation of mmBCFAs in Caenorhabditis elegans,...
