Abstract

Highly unsaturated fatty acids（HUFAs），especially ω-3HUFAs, are essential nutricients and play many physiological roles in human being and animals, including hydro-animal. However, the organisms depend on dietary HUFAs because of deficiency in the activity of one or more of the key fatty acid desaturases required for HUFAs synthesis, resulting in the desaturase study to be one of the heatst fields at the moment. The present paper reviews the recent progress in the studies of molecular biology of the desaturases of HUFA biosynthesis, emphasis on the structure and fuction of the desaturases.

Key words： Highly unsaturated fatty acids Desaturase Molecular biology Structure Function
