Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase Antibodies

AND FADS2 ELISA kits, Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase by testing them on tissues known to express FADS2 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the FADS2 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 4 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

FADS2 Overview

Facts about Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase.

FADS2 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Acyl-CoA 6-desaturase (FADS2)

Component of a lipid metabolic pathway that catalyzes biosynthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) from precursor essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) lipoic acid (LA) (18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) (18:3n-3). Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in this pathway which is the desaturation of LA (18:2n-6) and ALA (18:3n-3) to gamma- linoleic acid (GLA) (18:3n-6) and stearidonic acid (18:4n-3) respectively and other desaturation steps.

Highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) play critical roles in many biological functions. It catalizes as well the introduction of a cis double bond in palmitate to produce the mono-unsaturated fatty acid sapienate, the most abundant fatty acid in sebum.
