Elongase Reactions as Control Points in Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Synthesis

BACKGROUND: Δ6-Desaturase (Fads2) is widely regarded as rate-limiting in the conversion of dietary α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3; ALA) to the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3; DHA).
