About Scd1

Chromosome 19: 44,382,894-44,396,318 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001012.3

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 29 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 79 phenotypes. Biased expression in subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 3754.4), mammary gland adult (RPKM 322.4) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

Enables metal ion binding activity; palmitoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity; and stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Involved in several processes, including Cholesterol esterification; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and tarsal gland development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process; and white fat cell differentiation. Is integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; central nervous system; cranium; integumental system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 79. Orthologous to several human genes including SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase).
