Catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in this pathway which is the desaturation of LA (18:2n-6) and ALA (18:3n-3) into gamma- linoleic acid (GLA) (18:3n-6) and stearidonic acid (18:4n-3) respectively and other desaturation steps. Highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) play pivotal roles in many biological functions. It catalizes as well the introduction of a cis double bond in palmitate to produce the mono-unsaturated fatty acid sapienate, the most abundant fatty acid in sebum. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12713571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9867867}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |Cyt-b5| |FA desaturase| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |linoleoyl-CoA desaturase activity| |stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity| |alpha-linolenic acid metabolic process| |linoleic acid metabolic process| |unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process| |unsaturated fatty acid metabolic process| |long-chain fatty acid metabolic process| |fatty acid biosynthetic process| |monocarboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |carboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |organic acid biosynthetic process| |fatty acid metabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |monocarboxylic acid metabolic process| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |oxidation-reduction process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |small molecule metabolic process| |membrane| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp417|Tubastatin-A 2.5μM R07 exp417]]|1.77| |[[:results:exp497|Lead acetate 2000μM R08 exp497]]|1.78| |[[:results:exp121|Golgicide-A 2μM R03 exp121]]|2.08| |[[:results:exp78|Pterostilbene 16μM R02 exp78]]|2.65| |[[:results:exp416|Tubacin 1.6μM R07 exp416]]|3.09| |[[:results:exp329|Hydroxyurea 100μM R07 exp329]]|3.25| |[[:results:exp436|Dynasore 7μM R08 exp436]]|3.35| |[[:results:exp180|Dynasore 10μM R04 exp180]]|4.08| |[[:results:exp84|UM0125461 0.74μM R02 exp84]]|5.01| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 3122 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 8.29 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='FADS2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 8.29'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
