We describe transgenic cells transformed with nucleic acid molecules which encode enzymes with desaturase activity and the use of these cells and enzymes in biocatalysis.

Desaturase enzymes

This invention relates to nucleic acid molecules which comprise nucleic acid sequences which encode enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of n-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexanoic acid (DHA), or variants thereof; polypeptides encoded by said nucleic acids; cells transfected with said nucleic acid sequences and products comprising said nucleic acid sequences, polypeptides and/or cells.
