Function

Involved in the biosynthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) from the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) linoleic acid (LA) (18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) (18:3n-3) precursors, acting as a fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) desaturase that introduces a cis double bond at carbon 6 of the fatty acyl chain. Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in this pathway which is the desaturation of LA (18:2n-6) and ALA (18:3n-3) into gamma-linoleate (GLA) (18:3n-6) and stearidonate (18:4n-3), respectively (PubMed:12713571). Subsequently, in the biosynthetic pathway of HUFA n-3 series, it desaturates tetracosapentaenoate (24:5n-3) to tetracosahexaenoate (24:6n-3), which is then converted to docosahexaenoate (DHA)(22:6n-3), an important lipid for nervous system function (By similarity). Desaturates hexadecanate (palmitate) to produce 6Z-hexadecenoate (sapienate), a fatty acid unique to humans and major component of human sebum, that has been implicated in the development of acne and may have potent antibacterial activity (PubMed:12713571). It can also desaturate (11E)-octadecenoate (trans-vaccenoate, the predominant trans fatty acid in human milk) at carbon 6 generating (6Z,11E)-octadecadienoate (By similarity). In addition to Delta-6 activity, this enzyme exhibits Delta-8 activity with slight biases toward n-3 fatty acyl-CoA substrates (By similarity).

Notes

ab314318 is the carrier-free version of Anti-FADS2 antibody [EPR27357-82] ab314317.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

FADS2 also known as Fatty Acid Desaturase 2 or FABRED27 functions as an enzyme involved in creating double bonds in specific fatty acids. It holds a molecular weight of approximately 52 kDa. Researchers find this enzyme prominently expressed in liver tissue and it plays an essential role in the process of lipid metabolism.

Biological function summary

FADS2 contributes to the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids by introducing double bonds specifically within the fatty acid synthetic pathway. It does not function as part of a larger complex but operates independently. Through its enzymatic action it influences the production of essential fatty acids such as arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid which are important for maintaining normal cellular function.

Pathways

FADS2 plays an integral part within both the fatty acid biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism pathways. It closely relates with other enzymes such as acyl-CoA synthetase and elongation enzymes which work together to metabolize various fats within the body. These pathways help maintain cellular homeostasis by regulating levels of essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in FADS2 activity have connections to metabolic disorders like obesity and cardiovascular disease. Aberrant expression of FADS2 can influence lipid profiles in these conditions potentially exacerbating disease outcomes. FADS2 also interacts with other proteins such as SCD1 (Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1) within these disorders further highlighting its role in lipid metabolism and associated diseases.
