Figure 3

DES1, DES2, FADS1, FADS2 and SCD were expressed in 293T cells. Cell homogenates were assayed for synthesis of 11-cis-ROL (a), 9,13-di-cis-ROL (b), 9-cis-ROL (c) and 13-cis-ROL (d), using all-trans-ROL as substrate. Activities are expressed as pmoles per minute per mg-total protein (n=3; s.e.m.).
