Evolution and Functional Characteristics of the Novel <i>elovl8</i> That Play Pivotal Roles in Fatty Acid Biosynthesis

Elongation of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl) proteins are key enzymes that catalyze the rate-limiting step in the fatty acid elongation pathway. The most recently discovered member of the Elovl family, Elovl8, has been proposed to be a fish-specific elongase with two gene paralogs described in t...
