ELOVL6 genetic variation is related to insulin sensitivity: a new candidate gene in energy metabolism.

<h4>Background</h4>The elongase of long chain fatty acids family 6 (ELOVL6) is an enzyme that specifically catalyzes the elongation of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids with 12, 14 and 16 carbons. ELOVL6 is expressed in lipogenic tissues and it is regulated by sterol regulatory e...
