STEAROYL ACP DESATURASE GENE FROM JESSENIA BATAUA

摘要

THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD OF ISOLATING A NUCLEIC ACID FRAGMENT OR THE PART THEREOF ENCODING JESSENIA MESOCARP STEAROYL ACP DESATURASE ENZYME TO ENHANCE THE UNSATURATION LEVEL IN THE CELLULAR LIPID CELL THEREOF. IN ADDITION, CHIMERIC CONSTRUCTS CONTAINING SUCH ISOLATED NUCLEIC ACID FRAGMENT IS USEFUL FOR MODIFYING THE LEVELS OF SATURATED AND UNSATURATED FATTY ACID IN TRANSFORMED CELLS.
