This pathway is inspired by the Lipidmaps>Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids) [https://lipidmaps.org/pathway/pathways_maps].
Omega-3 and omega-6 FAs (Fatty acids) are important fats obtained from diet, and are both polyunsaturated (indicating many double bonds in the lipid tail).The position of the double bond is given in the name of the lipid, for example 22:2(13Z,16Z) means a tail length of 22 carbons, with 2 double bond. One double bond is at the 13 Carbon, the second on the 16th.This number is counted from the tail end of the lipid chain (indicating that the example lipid is a 22 - 16 = omega-6 FA).e46aka CoA(20:4)aka 11,14-eicosadienoic acidaka 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acidaka 13,16-docodadienoic acidAKA 11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acidMultistep process (as indicated in original LipidMaps PW)Multistep process (as indicated in original LipidMaps PW)Multistep process (as indicated in original LipidMaps PW)fatty acid omega degradation pathwayPW:0001253Pathway Ontologyfatty acid elongation pathwayPW:0001136Pathway Ontologyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic pathwayPW:0001137Pathway Ontology20923771PubMedA mouse macrophage lipidome.J Biol Chem2010Dennis EADeems RAHarkewicz RQuehenberger OBrown HAMilne SBMyers DSGlass CKHardiman GReichart DMerrill AH JrSullards MCWang EMurphy RCRaetz CRGarrett TAGuan ZRyan ACRussell DWMcDonald JGThompson BMShaw WASud MZhao YGupta SMaurya MRFahy ESubramaniam Sfatty acid metabolic pathwayPW:0000058Pathway Ontology
