Genetic regulation of unsaturated fatty acid composition in C. elegans.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jul 2006

Brock Trisha J, Browse John, Watts Jennifer L

Abstract excerpt

Delta-9 desaturases, also known as stearoyl-CoA desaturases, are lipogenic enzymes responsible for the generation of vital components of membranes and energy storage molecules. We have identified a novel nuclear hormone receptor, NHR-80, that regulates delta-9 desaturase gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here we describe fatty acid compositions, lifespans, and gene expression studies of strains carrying...
