Anti-rat delta6-desaturase serum was produced by immunizing rabbits with the 14 N-terminal amino acids (2-15) of rat delta6-desaturase. The antiserum prevented the enzymatic activity of delta6-desaturase in microsomes. Subsequently, the antiserum was used to demonstrate that gemfibrozil, a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, is involved in activating delta6-desaturase gene expression, thereby elevating the protein level and the activity.
