Anti-FADS1 Antibody

Validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows, this polyclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com specifically recognizes human FADS1 (Fatty Acid Desaturase 1), a key desaturase enzyme localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane that introduces double bonds at the delta-5 position of polyunsaturated fatty acid substrates.

FADS1 catalyzes rate-limiting steps in the conversion of dietary linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid into long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, making it central to lipid metabolism and membrane phospholipid composition research.

Supplied as an unconjugated IgG preparation in a 100 µL volume, this reagent supports researchers investigating fatty acid biosynthesis, lipid signaling pathways, and metabolic disease mechanisms where FADS1 expression levels serve as a biomarker. The polyclonal format provides multiple epitope recognition, supporting robust signal detection in tissue sections and immunoblotting using human-derived samples.
