What's a GeneRIF?

The effect of dietary plant extracts and vegetable oils on hepatic SREBP-1c, Delta5 and Delta6 desaturases has been reported.
Title: Adding a purple corn extract in rats supplemented with chia oil decreases gene expression of SREBP-1c and retains Δ5 and Δ6 hepatic desaturase activity, unmodified the hepatic lipid profile.
We first showed that both recombinant and native rat FADS2 were able to Delta6-desaturate not only the cis9- but also the cis12- and cis15-18:1 isomers.
Title: Influence of the cis-9, cis-12 and cis-15 double bond position in octadecenoic acid (18:1) isomers on the rat FADS2-catalyzed Δ6-desaturation.
Results show that genes with the highest expression in the mammary gland, liver and adipose tissue were Elovl5, Fads2, and Fasn, respectively, in a low-lipid diet than in adequate-lipid diet.
Title: Role of maternal tissue in the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids in response to a lipid-deficient diet during pregnancy and lactation in rats.
Delta-6-desaturase links polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism with phospholipid remodeling and disease progression in heart failure.
Title: Delta-6-desaturase links polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism with phospholipid remodeling and disease progression in heart failure.
epigenetic regulation of Fads2 may contribute to short- and long-term regulation of PUFA synthesis
Title: Maternal fat intake in rats alters 20:4n-6 and 22:6n-3 status and the epigenetic regulation of Fads2 in offspring liver.
Changes in progesterone and oestradiol during pregnancy may promote the synthesis of LC PUFA via increased FADS2 expression.
Title: Changes in rat n-3 and n-6 fatty acid composition during pregnancy are associated with progesterone concentrations and hepatic FADS2 expression.
Data show that an imbalance of maternal micronutrients increases Delta5 desaturase activity but decreases mRNA levels, decreases Delta6 desaturase activity but not mRNA levels as compared to control.
Title: Effect of maternal micronutrients (folic acid, vitamin B12) and omega 3 fatty acids on liver fatty acid desaturases and transport proteins in Wistar rats.
Results show that delta-6 desaturase as well as elongase-6 expressions were upregulated in 3-month-old Zucker fatty rats as compared to lean littermates.
Title: The metabolic cascade leading to eicosanoid precursors--desaturases, elongases, and phospholipases A2--is altered in Zucker fatty rats.
Regulation of 6-desaturase expression is different in female vs. male liver (but not cerebral cortex) during n-3 fatty acid repletion.
Title: Gender affects liver desaturase expression in a rat model of n-3 fatty acid repletion.
n-6 and n-3 PUFAs suppressed the hepatic expression of Fads2 by inhibiting the rate of Fads2 gene transcription. In contrast, consumption of the PPARalpha activator WY 14,643 significantly enhanced the transcription of hepatic DeFads2 by 500%.
Title: Regulation of human delta-6 desaturase gene transcription: identification of a functional direct repeat-1 element.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
