Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a protein having an activity to promote fatty acid chain elongation, a polynucleotide encoding the same, etc. The present invention provides, for example, a polynucleotide containing the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 4, a polynucleotide encoding a protein which consists of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, an expression vector and a transformant, each containing such a polynucleotide, a method for preparing lipids or fatty acids by using such a transformant, or a food or the like containing lipids or fatty acids prepared by such a method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cDNA comprising a nucleotide sequence of any one selected from the group consisting of (a) to (c) shown below: (a) the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 4; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein which consists of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2; and (c) a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein which has an amino acid sequence sharing an identity of 90% or more with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 and w…
