The present application relates to methods of producing one or more fatty alcohols and/or one or more fatty aldehydes from one or more unsaturated lipid moieties by combining the obtainment or production of the one or more unsaturated lipid moieties from a biological source with conversion by non-biological means of the one or more unsaturated lipid moieties to one or more fatty alcohols and/or one or more fatty aldehydes. The present application also relates to recombinant microorganisms having a biosynthesis pathway for the production of one or more unsaturated lipid moieties. The one or more fatty alcohols can further be chemically converted to one or more corresponding fatty acetates. The one or more fatty alcohols, one or more fatty aldehydes and/or one or more fatty acetates produced by the methods described herein may be one or more insect pheromones, one or more fragrances, one or more flavoring agents, or one or more polymer intermediates.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, containing cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3) protein as an active ingredient. Over-expression of CYB5R3 in cancer cells results in significant reduction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression, which leads inhibition of cancer cells growth in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the CYB5R3 gene or protein of the present invention can be useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer.

Methods and devices for testing and monitoring L-phenylalanine in biological samples are provided.

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating cancer, comprising a dual expression vector, and more specifically, to a method for effectively treating cancer by simultaneously inducing the actions of cancer metabolism drugs and cancer immunotherapy drugs by using a dual expression vector for simultaneously expressing an HIF-1? inhibitor and anticancer cytokines.

The present invention relates to yeast cells engineered for the production of E8,E10-dodecadienyl coenzyme A, codlemone (E8,E10-dodecadien-1-ol), and optionally its derivatives E8,E10-dodecadienyl acetate and/or E8,E10-dodecadienal. Methods for production of E8,E10-dodecadienyl coenzyme A, codlemone (E8,E10-do-decadien-1-ol), and optionally its derivatives E8,E10-dodecadienyl acetate and/or E8,E10-dodecadienal are also provided. Nucleic acid constructs useful for obtaining such yeast cells are also provided.

Herein are provided methods for increasing enzymatic activity of desaturases and fatty acyl reductases by co-expressing NAD(P)H cytochrome b5 reductases (EC 1.6.2.2, Ncb5or), as well as to methods for production of compounds comprised in pheromones, in particular moth pheromones, such as saturated and desaturated fatty alcohols, and saturated and desaturated fatty alcohol acetates and fatty acids, and derivatives thereof, in a cell.
