Studies on Molecular Biology of the Desaturases of Highly Uunsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthesis II. Cloning, Expression and Function Analysis |
|
|
Abstract Highly unsaturated fatty acids(HUFAs)play important physiological roles in biological organisms. Human being and animals, including most of marine fishes, depend on dietary HUFAs because of deficiency in the activity of one or more of the key fatty acid desaturases required for HUFAs synthesis. So far the desaturase study is significant in science and application. The present paper reviews the recent progress in the studies of molecular biology of the desaturases of HUFA biosynthesis, emphasis on the cloning, expression and function analysis of the desaturase-gene.
