Figure 2

Putative PUFA biosynthetic pathways in cephalopods from C18 PUFA, α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) and linoleic acid (18:2n-6). Solid arrows indicate demonstrated activities, whereas dashed arrows show vertebrate-based activities not determined in cephalopods. Horizontal dark blue arrows are desaturation reactions and red arrows are elongation reactions.
