Fatty acid desaturases (FADS) are enzymes that convert a single bond between two carbon atoms (C–C) to a double bond (C=C) in a fatty acyl chain.
The resultant double bond is often referred to as an unsaturated bond, and the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are known as desaturation reactions.
These reactions require molecular oxygen and occur under aerobic conditions.
The distribution of fatty acid desaturases is almost universal.
The enzyme has been found in all organisms examined, with the exception of some bacteria such as Escherichia coli.
There are three types of fatty acid desaturase: FADS1, FADS2 and FADS3.
FADS3 encodes a deduced 445-amino acid protein that shares 52% and 62% sequence identity with FADS1 and FADS2, respectively.
