Human Fatty Acid Desaturase 1 (FADS1) ELISA Kit

FADS1 (Fatty Acid Desaturase 1) is an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme that catalyzes a rate-limiting desaturation step in the conversion of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid to arachidonic acid, positioning it as a central regulator of polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. This Assay Genie ELISA kit enables quantitative measurement of human FADS1 protein in research laboratory samples, supporting investigations into eicosanoid pathway activity, hepatic lipid handling, and metabolic disorders including insulin resistance and cardiovascular pathophysiology.

The kit is provided in a microplate format and is intended for in vitro research use only. Investigators in nutritional genomics, fatty acid metabolism, and inflammation biology can apply this assay to evaluate FADS1 expression across multiple human sample matrices. Each kit contains all components required to perform 96 individual determinations following the standard ELISA workflow. Reagents should be refrigerated upon receipt to preserve long-term reagent activity.
