Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 gene is associated with a major QTL effect on fatty acid composition in pigs.

Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 gene is associated with a major QTL effect on fatty acid composition in pigs.

<h4>Background</h4>The ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6), the only elongase related to de novo lipogenesis, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the elongation cycle by controlling the fatty acid balance in mammals. It is located on pig chromosome 8 (SSC8) in a region where a QTL affec...
