Fatty Acid Desaturase #
- Family 1: Δ5 Desaturase
- So like, Δ9 Desaturase counts for some reason as ‘family 1’ but it’s the SCD gene, not the FADS gene cluster.
- Family 2: Δ6 Desaturase, Δ8 desaturase
- Δ12 and Δ15 in plants. Δ17 in some microorganisms.
- FADS2-dependent fatty acid desaturation dictates cellular sensitivity to ferroptosis and permissiveness for hepatitis C virus replication
