Estimating the term…
Nucleic acid molecules from nematodes encoding fatty acid desaturase polypeptides are described. Fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptide sequences are also provided, as are vectors, host cells, and recombinant methods for production of fatty acid desaturase-like nucleotides and polypeptides. Also described are screening methods for identifying inhibitors and/or activators of fatty acid desaturase-like polypeptides, as well as methods for antibody production.
1-106. (canceled)
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:11 wherein the polypeptide has fatty acid desaturase activity.
