Anti-FADS1 Antibody

The rabbit polyclonal FADS1 antibody from Antibodies.com targets Fatty Acid Desaturase 1, a membrane-bound desaturase enzyme localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and responsible for introducing double bonds during long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. Investigators studying lipid metabolism, eicosanoid signaling pathways, and metabolic disease models rely on this reagent to detect endogenous FADS1 protein expression in human and mouse samples.

Validated for western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows, the unconjugated antibody is supplied at 1 mg/ml in PBS containing 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol as a cryoprotectant, shipped in a 100 µl volume ready to support multiple experimental runs. Polyclonal reactivity across both species enables consistent comparative detection in hepatic, neural, and adipose tissue where FADS1 expression has been linked to dietary lipid processing and inflammatory regulation.

The unconjugated format offers flexibility for downstream labeling, allowing researchers to conjugate the antibody to fluorophores, biotin, or HRP depending on their western blot membrane imaging or IHC chromogenic detection requirements. Sodium azide is included as a microbial preservative, so working dilutions should be washed thoroughly before any application involving live cell preparations.
