Cayman Meai (Hydrochloride); Purity- Greater Than Or Equal To 95%

Fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1), also known as Δ⁵ desaturase, is a 444-amino acid transmembrane protein encoded by FADS1. This product is the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of FADS1, corresponding to residues 2-121 of the full-length sequence. It catalyzes conversion of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (Item No. ) to arachidonic acid (Item No. ) and ω-3 arachidonic acid (Item No. ) to eicosapentaenoic acid (Item Nos. | | ) during the production of ω-6 and ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), respectively. Hepatic FADS1 protein levels and mRNA expression are increased in mice with high-fat diet-induced obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Tissue-selective knockdown of fads1 in the liver, adipose tissue, and reticuloendothelial system of adult hyperlipidemic LDL receptor-null mice promotes hepatic inflammation and formation of atherosclerotic plaques and suppresses hepatic lipogenesis. Increased expression of FADS1 positively correlates with disease-free survival and overall survival times in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
