GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 68339
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Fads2
Name: fatty acid desaturase 2
Acc ID: CHEBI:27470
Term: folic acid
Definition: An N-acyl-amino acid that is a form of the water-soluble vitamin B9. Its biologically active forms (tetrahydrofolate and others) are essential for nucleotide biosynthesis and homocysteine remethylation.
Chemical ID: MESH:D005492
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
