Biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the African catfish Clarias gariepinus: Molecular cloning and functional characterisation of fatty acyl desaturase (fads2) and elongase (elovl2) cDNAs7

2016-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Fish differ in their capacity for endogenous synthesis of long-chain (C20–24) polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) from dietary C18 precursors (α-linolenic and linoleic acids). Understanding this capacity is of benefit to fish feed formulation. This, together with the importance of fish as the primary source of omega-3 LC-PUFA in the human diet has necessitated the rigorous study of the biochemical and molecular...
