FADS1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein fatty acid desaturase 1, which is encoded by the FADS1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to act as a front-end fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) desaturase that introduces a cis double bond at carbon 5 located between a preexisting double bond and the carboxyl end of the fatty acyl chain. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 444 residues, a mass of 52 kDa, and is a member of the Fatty acid desaturase type 1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and ER and is found to be widely expressed, with highest levels in liver, brain, adrenal gland and heart. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include FADS6, FADSD5, LLCDL1, TU12, acyl-CoA (8-3)-desaturase, delta(5) desaturase, delta-5 fatty acid desaturase, and D5D.
Some FADS1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 31.2 pg/mL and as high as 90 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
