Anti-Delta-5 Desaturase antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Delta-5 Desaturase antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the FADS1 gene, which encodes fatty acid desaturase 1. This protein is known to function in cell to cell signaling and the metabolism of lipids, among other biological roles. The human version of Delta-5 Desaturase has a canonical amino acid length of 444 residues and a protein mass of 52 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria and ER of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include D5D, FADS6, and FADSD5. Indicated applications for Delta-5 Desaturase antibodies listed below include ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry.
