A C. elegans model for mitochondrial fatty acid synthase II: the longevity-associated gene W09H1.5/mecr-1 encodes a 2-trans-enoyl-thioester reductase.
Our recognition of the mitochondria as being important sites of fatty acid biosynthesis is continuously unfolding, especially in light of new data becoming available on compromised fatty acid synthase type 2 (FASII) in mammals. For example, perturbed regulation of murine 17beta-HSD8 encoding a compo...
