Anti-FADS1 Antibody

A rabbit-derived polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com targets Fatty Acid Desaturase 1 (FADS1), the endoplasmic reticulum membrane enzyme that catalyzes rate-limiting desaturation steps in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. The unconjugated antibody is supplied at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% Sodium Azide and 50% glycerol as a cryoprotectant, packaged as a 50 µl vial for standard immunodetection workflows. Validated applications include Western blot and immunohistochemistry, with reactivity demonstrated on human and mouse samples for studies of lipid metabolism, hepatic steatosis, and inflammatory signaling pathways involving omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acid precursors. The polyclonal format broadens epitope coverage across the FADS1 cytochrome b5-like desaturase domain, which is useful when probing tissue-specific expression in liver, brain, and adipose sections where this desaturase is most abundant. Storage at -20°C in working aliquots limits freeze-thaw exposure of the glycerol-stabilized stock, preserving binding activity for repeated blotting and staining experiments.
