Analyze
Symbol: Fads2
Name: fatty acid desaturase 2
RGD ID: 68339
Description: Predicted to enable acyl-CoA 6-desaturase activity and stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Involved in arachidonate metabolite production involved in inflammatory response and positive regulation of cellular response to oxidative stress. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Used to study congestive heart failure and discrete subaortic stenosis. Biomarker of congestive heart failure and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FADS2 (fatty acid desaturase 2); PARTICIPATES IN alpha-linolenic acid metabolic pathway; linoleic acid metabolic pathway; eicosanoid signaling pathway via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma; INTERACTS WITH (+)-schisandrin B; 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 17alpha-ethynylestradiol.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: PROVISIONAL
Previously known as: acyl-CoA 6-desaturase; D6D; delta(6) desaturase; delta(6) fatty acid desaturase; delta-6 desaturase; delta-6 fatty acid desaturase; Fadsd6; fatty acid desaturase 6; MGC93365
