Identification of the unknown octadecadienoic acid produced from trans-vaccenate in cells expressing rat FADS3 as a Δ11,13-conjugated linoleic acid isomer. (A) Electron-impact mass spectrum of the DMOX derivative of the unknown 13C-octadecadienoic acid obtained after incubation of COS-7 cells expressing FADS3 with [1-13C]TVA. (B) GC-MS profile of the FAMEs extracted from COS-7 cells expressing FADS3 and incubated with TVA compared with commercial rumenic acid and a commercial mixture of cis11,trans13-18:2, cis11,cis13-18:2, and trans11,trans13-18:2 as FAME standards. (C) Electron-impact mass spectrum of the DMOX derivative of the commercial cis11,trans13-18:2.
