Summary: Enables palmitoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity and stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Acts upstream of or within monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
