Cloning and over-expression of a masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) fatty acid elongase-like gene in zebrafish

2008-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are particularly important n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) for humans, and are generally obtained from a diet of marine fish captured in the wild. Farmed fish could well be a significant source if they are able to synthesize these fatty acids. It may be possible to improve the ability of these fish to produce the HUFA through bioengineering. We i...
