Distinct roles of endoplasmic reticulum cytochrome b5 and fused cytochrome b5-like domain for rat Δ6-desaturase activity

The Δ6-desaturase catalyzes key steps in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. Although the gene coding for this enzyme has been isolated in diverse animal species, the protein structure remains poorly characterized. In this work, rat Δ6-desaturase expressed in COS-7 cells was shown to...
