Further Information

Applications Description:
Antibody can be used for Western blotting (1-5 ?g/ml starting dilution). Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.
Background:
Bifunctional enzyme which acts as both a sphingolipid delta(4)-desaturase and a sphingolipid C4-hydroxylase. Up-regulated during keratinocyte differentiation. Not expressed at day 0 or day 3 after differentiation, detected on day 6 and increases by day 9. Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase family. DEGS subfamily. Highly expressed in skin, intestine and kidney.
