Synthesis of DHA (omega-3 fatty acid): FADS2 gene polymorphisms and regulation by PPARα
In humans, in several biological systems, in particular the nervous system, the FADS2 gene transcribes Δ6-desaturase, which is the rate-limiting enzyme for converting α-linolenic acid into docosahexaenoic acid (an n-3 fatty acid). The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) modulates th...
