δ6 desaturase

SC-26196 是一种 Delta6 去饱和酶 (D6D, FADS2) 抑制剂 (在大鼠肝微粒体中，IC50=0.2 µM)，具有口服活性，具有抗炎作用。

9(Z),12(Z),15(Z),18(Z),21(Z)-Tetracosapentaenoic acid is an ω-3 very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid. It has been used to study the desaturation and elongation of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is elongated to form C26:5 or acted on by δ6 desaturase to form C24:6. 9(Z),12(Z),15(Z),18(Z),21(Z)-Tetracosapentaenoic acid is found at low levels in mouse brain and spleen and levels decrease in the brain and spleen of old and exceptionally old mice.
