Abstract excerpt
Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 6 (ELOVL6), a rate-limiting enzyme for the elongation of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids with 12, 14, and 16 carbons, plays a key role in energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Hepatic Elovl6 expression is upregulated in the fasting-refeeding response and in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. Mouse Elovl6 has been shown to be a direct target of sterol...
