Notes: Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFA) are present in retina, sperm, and brain.{18974,237,19225} Though little is known of their biosynthesis or functional roles in these tissues, recent studies using the elongation of very long-chain FA-4 protein suggest a unique role for VLCPUFA in retinal development and macular degeneration.{18972,18973} CAY10632 is a C32:6 VLCPUFA whose specific biological actions are largely unknown, but are thought to involve normal photoreceptor cell function in the retina.{18972,19234}
