Marine ecosystems are rich in “omega-3” long-chain (C 20-24) polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LC-PUFA). Their production has been historically accepted to derive mostly from marine …

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are major components of complex lipid
molecules and are also involved in numerous critical biological processes. Studies …

Abstract Omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA, C 20-24),
including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20: 5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n …

Virtually all polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) originate from primary producers but can be
modified by bioconversions as they pass up the food chain in a process termed trophic …

Elongation of Very Long chain fatty acids-4 (ELOVL4) protein is a member of the ELOVL
family of fatty acid elongases that is collectively responsible for catalyzing formation of long …

Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are important components of various lipid classes in
most organisms, from bacteria to higher plants and mammals, including humans. VLCFAs …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays important physiological roles in vertebrates. Studies in
rats and rainbow trout confirmed that DHA biosynthesis proceeds through the so-called …

Fish are primary sources of the healthy n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) for
humans. This also applied historically to farmed fish, but the impact that nonmarine …

Atlantic salmon can synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as
eicosapentaenoic acid (20: 5n-3), arachidonic acid (20: 4n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid …

Lipids play essential roles in maintaining cell structure and function by modulating
membrane fluidity and cell signaling. The fatty acid elongase-4 (ELOVL4) protein, expressed …
