Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the genetic engineering technology in the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a gene codon of flax fatty acid dehydrogenase and its application. Background technique
[0002] Fatty acid (fatty acid) refers to a long aliphatic hydrocarbon chain containing a carboxyl group at one end. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) contain more than one (C=C) fatty acids with a carbon skeleton greater than 18 carbon atoms. It is an essential substance that makes up the human body and is very important to human health. According to the position of the double bond, polyunsaturated fatty acids are divided into: ω-6PUFAs and ω-3PUFAs. ω-6PUFAs include γ-linolenic acid (γ-LA), arachidonic acid (AA), linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and so on. ω-3PUFAs include α-linolenic acid (α-LA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and the like. The ω-3 desaturase gene can convert ω-6 PUAFs into ω-3 ...
