Two Very Long Chain Fatty Acid Acyl-CoA Synthetase Genes, acs-20 and acs-22, Have Roles in the Cuticle Surface Barrier in Caenorhabditis elegans
Figure 5
Reduced incorporation of exogenous C26:0 fatty acid into sphingomyelin in acs-20 and acs-22 mutants.
Incorporation of [14C]C26:0, [14C]C16:0 and [14C]C20:4 into sphingomyelin is expressed as the percentage of the wild-type value. All experiments were performed at 20°C. Bars represent SEMs of two independent experiments.
