Towards Fish Lipid Nutrigenomics: Current State and Prospects for Fin-Fish Aquaculture (2008, background): “Thus, ELOVL belongs to a multicomponent enzyme system of the endoplasmic reticulum analogous to the single component, multi-activity, cytosolic fatty acid synthase of vertebrates (Jakobsson et al., 2006).”

Differential gene expression in diapausing and active Calanus finmarchicus (Copepoda) (2008, methodology): “Sequences were trimmed using Bioedit (Jakobsson et al. 2006) and compared with the NCBI database using the blastn and blastx algorithms.”
Elongation of long-chain fatty acids in rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus: Cloning, functional characterisation and tissue distribution of Elovl5- and Elovl4-like elongases (2012, background): “These studies confirmed that fish Elovl5, similar to mammalian homologues (Jakobsson et al., 2006), have the ability to preferentially elongate C18 (18:4n-3 and 18:3n-6) and C20 (20:5n-3 and 20:4n-6) PUFA, with only low activity towards C22 PUFA (22:5n-3 and 22:4n-6).”
