FADS6
fatty acid desaturase 6

Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with oxidation of a pair of donors resulting in the reduction of molecular oxygen to two molecules of water. Predicted to be involved in lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

FADS6 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating FADS6 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for FADS6. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = FADS6 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to FADS6

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of FADS6, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
