Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3995
Gene name Fatty acid desaturase 3
Gene symbol FADS3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CYB5RPLLCDL3
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q12.2
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 mem

Protein name Fatty acid desaturase 3 (FADS3) (EC 1.14.19.-) (Delta(13) fatty acid desaturase) (Delta(13) desaturase)
Protein function Mammals have different sphingoid bases that differ in their length and/or pattern of desaturation and hydroxyl groups. The predominant sphingoid base that comprises mammalian ceramides is sphing-4-enine (sphingosine or SPH) which has a trans (E)
