Expression of fatty acid synthase genes and their role in development and arboviral infection of <i>Aedes aegypti</i>
2022-02-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Fatty acids are the building blocks of complex lipids essential for living organisms. In mosquitoes, fatty acids are involved in cell membrane production, energy conservation and expenditure, innate immunity, development, and reproduction. Fatty acids are synthesized by a multifunctional enzyme complex called fatty acid synthase (FAS). Several paralogues of FAS were found in the Aedes aegypti...
