Functional characterization of fatty acyl desaturase Fads2 and Elovl5 elongase in the Boddart’s goggle-eyed goby, Boleophthalmus boddarti (Gobiidae) suggest an incapacity for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis

H.-J. Soo, J. Chong, N.-S. Lau, S.-Y. Ting, K.-K. Sam, M.-K. Kuah, Y. K. Sim, M. Janaranjani, A. S. C. Chong

This study characterizes Fads2 and Elovl5 in Boleophthalmus boddarti, showing they cannot biosynthesize long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, relying on diet.
