Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| 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) desaturation at carbon 4 (PubMed:31916624, PubMed:31862735). FADS3 is a desaturase that introduces a cis (Z) double bond between carbon 14 and carbon 15 of the sphingoid base (also known as long chain base, LCB), producing LCBs such as sphinga-4,14-dienine (SPD, d18:2(4E,14Z)) from SPH (PubMed:31916624, PubMed:31862735, PubMed:37209771). Prefers SPH- containing ceramides (N-acylsphing-4-enines) as substrates (PubMed:31916624, PubMed:31862735, PubMed:37209771). Capable of metabolizing also the SPH in its free form (PubMed:31862735). SPD ceramides occur widely in mammalian tissues and cells (PubMed:31916624). Due to their unusual structure containing a cis double bond, SPD ceramides may have an opposite, negative role in lipid microdomain formation relative to conventional ceramides (PubMed:31916624). Could be involved in the detoxification of 1-deoxy sphingolipids, by desaturating the cytotoxic 1-deoxysphinganine (1- deoxySA, m18:0), produced under pathological conditions, to 1- deoxysphingenine (1-deoxysphingosine, 1-deoxySO, m18:1) (Probable). Although prefers SPH-containing ceramides (N-acylsphing-4-enines) as substrates, it also exhibits activity toward dihydrosphingosine- containing CERs (N-acylsphinganines) and produces 14Z-SPH-containing sphingolipids,which can be found in patients with DEGS1 mutations (PubMed:37209771). Its desaturase mechanism involves an electron transfer facilitated by cytochrome b5 (PubMed:37209771). FADS3 also acts as a methyl-end fatty acyl coenzyme A (CoA) desaturase that introduces a cis double bond between the preexisting double bond and the terminal methyl group of the fatty acyl chain (By similarity). Desaturates (11E)-octadecenoate (trans-vaccenoate, the predominant trans fatty acid in human milk) at carbon 13 to generate (11E,13Z)- octadecadienoate (also known as conjugated linoleic acid 11E,13Z-CLA) (By similarity). |

Background
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.
