Bioactivity | ELOVL6-IN-5 (compound B) is an inhibitor of the elongase enzyme of long-chain fatty acid family 6 (ELOVL6). ELOVL6 is a rate-limiting enzyme for the elongation of saturated and monounsaturated long-chain fatty acids and is an effective target for inhibiting diabetes. ELOVL6-IN-5 reduces hepatic fatty acid levels in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity (DIO). However, ELOVL6 inhibition by ELOVL6-IN-5 did not improve insulin resistance[1]. |
