The FADS2 Antibody (Center) from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to Delta-6-desaturase, FADS2, and fatty acid desaturase 2. This antibody recognizes Human, and Xenopus/Amphibian antigen. The FADS2 Antibody (Center) has been validated for the following applications: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot.
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fatty
acid desaturase (FADS) gene family. Desaturase enzymes regulate
unsaturation of fatty acids through the introduction of double
bonds between defined carbons of the fatty acyl chain. FADS family
members are considered fusion products composed of an N-terminal
cytochrome b5-like domain and a C-terminal multiple
membrane-spanning desaturase portion, both of which are
characterized by conserved histidine motifs. This gene is clustered
with family members FADS1 and FADS2 at 11q12-q13.1; this cluster is
thought to have arisen evolutionarily from gene duplication based
on its similar exon/intron organization
