It holds a molecular weight of approximately 52 kDa. Researchers find this enzyme prominently expressed in liver tissue and it plays an essential role in the process of lipid metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nFADS2 contributes to the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids by introducing double bonds specifically within the fatty acid synthetic pathway. It does not function as part of a larger complex but operates independently. Through its enzymatic action it influences the production of essential fatty acids such as arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid which are important for maintaining normal cellular function.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nFADS2 plays an integral part within both the fatty acid biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism pathways. It closely relates with other enzymes such as acyl-CoA synthetase and elongation enzymes which work together to metabolize various fats within the body. These pathways help maintain cellular homeostasis by regulating levels of essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlterations in FADS2 activity have connections to metabolic disorders like obesity and cardiovascular disease. Aberrant expression of FADS2 can influence lipid profiles in these conditions potentially exacerbating disease outcomes. FADS2 also interacts with other proteins such as SCD1 (Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1) within these disorders further highlighting its role in lipid metabolism and associated diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854375276713,"sku":"ab232898","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab232898","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
