The fatty acid elongase NOA is necessary for viability and has a somatic role in Drosophila sperm development.

Journal of cell science - 15 Aug 2007

Jung Anita, Hollmann Martin, Schäfer Mireille A

Abstract excerpt

The essential gene noa (CG 3971; also known as Baldspot) encodes a very long chain fatty acid elongase which is most similar to the mammalian elongase ELOVL6. noa is expressed in the nervous system from embryogenesis on, in imaginal discs, the fat body, malpighian tubules and in the gonads of both sexes. Its function is dose dependent, since reduced levels of noa RNA lead to impaired motility and severely reduced...
