Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for FADS1(NM_013402.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene family. Desaturase enzymes regulate unsaturation of fatty acids through the introduction of double bonds between defined carbons of the fatty acyl chain. FADS family members are considered fusion products composed of an N-terminal cytochrome b5-like domain and a C-terminal multiple membrane-spanning desaturase portion, both of which are characterized by conserved histidine motifs. This gene is clustered with family members FADS1 and FADS2 at 11q12-q13.1; this cluster is thought to have arisen evolutionarily from gene duplication based on its similar exon/intron organization.

Gene References into function
- This is the first report on characterization of human FADS, and the first cloning and over-expression of FADS from an organism higher than yeast.
- FADS1 FADS2 genetic varients and their reconstructed haplotypes are associated with the fatty acid composition in phospholipids
- support a significant role for reverse Delta5-desaturase as a natural antisense regulator of Delta5-desaturase
- SREBP-1 is involved in the early regulation of delta5 desaturase gene by simvastatin, in THP-1 cells.
- The results indicate that when the supply of FA to HL60 cells is limited, the intracellular content of n-3 and n-6 FA decreases and this leads to upregulation of the desaturases, particularly D5D and D6D.
- strong association of FADS1 gene polymorphisms with the levels of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor of molecules involved in inflammation and immunity processes, cardiovascular disease.
- In populations following a Western diet, subjects carrying FADS haplotypes that are associated with higher desaturase activity may be prone to a proinflammatory response favoring atherosclerotic vascular damage.
- This study showed that genetic variants of FADS1 and FADS2 influence blood lipid and breast milk essential fatty acids in pregnancy and lactation.
