General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | OMEGA-3 fatty acid desaturase converts exogenous arachidonic acid, an OMEGA-6 PUFA, into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Gene sdd17 from EPA-rich fungus is expressed at high levels and increases OMEGA-3 fatty acid concentrations in mammalian cells | Saprolegnia diclina |
