FADS3 Activators

FADS3 include a variety of polyunsaturated fatty acids that serve as substrates for the enzyme, initiating its metabolic functions. Arachidonic acid, for instance, is metabolized by FADS3, which leads to the activation of the enzyme's desaturase activity. This activity is central to the function of FADS3, as it catalyzes the introduction of double bonds into specific positions of fatty acid chains. Similarly, alpha-linolenic acid and gamma-linolenic acid are both substrates that FADS3 acts upon, resulting in the enzyme's activation. The metabolism of these fatty acids by FADS3 is crucial for the activation of its enzymatic processes, as it converts these substrates into products with additional double bonds, altering their structure and function within cell membranes and signaling pathways.

Fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid, conjugated linoleic acid, and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid are also metabolized by FADS3, further exemplifying the role of this enzyme in activating its desaturase functions upon these substrates. Stearidonic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and eicosadienoic acid similarly undergo enzymatic reactions catalyzed by FADS3, which underscores the enzyme's broad specificity for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Adrenic acid, when metabolized by FADS3, results in the activation of the enzyme's desaturase activity, highlighting its role in the metabolism of fatty acids with varying chain lengths and degrees of unsaturation. Mead acid and eicosatrienoic acid also serve as substrates for FADS3, and their metabolism by the enzyme is indicative of the diverse range of fatty acids that FADS3 can act upon, leading to the functional activation of its desaturase capabilities.
