The peroxisomal very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) transporter ABCD1 is central to fatty acid catabolism and lipid biosynthesis. Its dysfunction underlies toxic cytosolic accumulation of VLCFAs, progressive demyelination, and neurological impairments inc
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) predominantly generates straight-chain fatty acids using acetyl-CoA as the initiating substrate. However, monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids (mmBCFAs) are also present in mammals but are thought to be primarily diet derived. Here we demonstrate that mmBCFAs are de nov...
. Three FAD2 genes (CsFAD2-1, -2 and -3) were identified inC. sativa, withCsFAD2-2 and -3 being expressed exclusively in developing seeds, andCsFAD2-1 in all tissues of the plant [48,71]. Further desaturation of linoleic acid to linolenic acid is accomplished by the omega-3 ...
The survey revealed that nine duckweed species accumulate Δ6-containing FA in the form of γ-linolenic acid (GLA) or stearidonic acid (SDA). While these fatty acids are rarely found in higher plants, they are found in borage [13], and Echium[14]. Δ6-containing FA are synthesized by...
In addition, Li et al. (2015) found the maintaining of the dietary n-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratios of 1:1–5:1 would facilitate the absorption and utilization of fatty acids and free amino acids, and result in improved muscle and adipose composition. Not only energy ...
Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs), small cytosolic proteins that function in the uptake and utilization of fatty acids, have been extensively studied in higher vertebrates while invertebrates have received little attention despite similar nutritional requirements during periods of reproductive activity. Re...
inFigure 2.1. Fatty acids are referred to by the standard abbreviation “carbon atoms:double bonds.” Specifically, common names of these fatty acids include 16:0, palmitic acid; 18:0, stearic acid; 18:1, oleic acid; 16:1, palmitoleic acid; 18:2, linoleic acid; 18:3, linolenic acid;...
