Gene: FADS1
Official Full Name: fatty acid desaturase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene family. Desaturase enzymes regulate unsaturation of fatty acids through the introduction of double bonds between defined carbons of the fatty acyl chain. FADS family members are considered fusion products composed of an N-terminal cytochrome b5-like domain and a C-terminal multiple membrane-spanning desaturase portion, both of which are characterized by conserved histidine motifs. This gene is clustered with family members FADS1 and FADS2 at 11q12-q13.1; this cluster is thought to have arisen evolutionarily from gene duplication based on its similar exon/intron organization.

FADS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a specialized tool for researchers investigating fatty acid metabolism and its implications in various biological processes. FADS1 (Fatty Acid Desaturase 1) is a crucial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids, playing a significant role in lipid synthesis and membrane biogenesis. The knockout of this gene in cell lines leads to a distinctive phenotype characterized by altered lipid profiles, enabling researchers to dissect the functional role of FADS1 in cellular processes such as inflammation, energy metabolism, and cardiovascular disease.
The mechanism underlying the action of FADS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is predicated on the targeted disruption of the FADS1 gene, typically achieved through CRISPR/Cas9 technology or other gene-editing approaches. This gene knockdown results in reduced activity of the desaturase enzyme, allowing for the observation of downstream effects on lipid composition and signaling pathways. Such models provide a unique opportunity to explore the cellular consequences of alterations in fatty acid profiles, thus offering insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
The scientific significance of these cell lines is extensive, bridging basic research and clinical applications. They are invaluable for studying metabolic disorders, evaluating the effects of dietary interventions, and testing pharmacological agents targeting lipid metabolism. Researchers in fields such as nutrition, cardiovascular biology, and oncology can leverage these cell lines to generate novel findings that may inform clinical strategies for disease prevention and intervention.
Compared to traditional cell lines, FADS1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a more relevant platform for lipid-related studies, addressing the limitations of models that do not faithfully recapitulate the metabolic conditions present in vivo. These knockout lines allow for the differentiation of FADS1-specific effects from those mediated by other enzymes, markedly enhancing the specificity of research outcomes.
