Caenorhabditis elegans mutants predict regulation of fatty acids and endocannabinoids by the CYP-35A gene family

Background: Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are mono-oxygenases that metabolize endogenous compounds, such as fatty acids and lipid signaling molecules, and furthermore have a role in metabolism of xenobiotics. In order to investigate the role of CYP genes in fat metabolism at the molecular level, four C. e...
