About Fads1

Summary

Enables acyl-CoA delta5-desaturase activity. Involved in several processes, including response to isolation stress; response to vitamin A; and unsaturated fatty acid metabolic process. Located in nucleus. Biomarker of hypertension and obesity. Orthologous to human FADS1 (fatty acid desaturase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
