The Δ9-elongase isolated from qÜê~ìëíçÅÜóíêáìã=~ìêÉìã, which contains a high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), was demonstrated to be associated with the synthesis of C20 PUFAs. The q~bil gene contains a 825 bp ORF that encodes a protein of 274 amino acids that shares a high similarity with other PUFA elongases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
