Stearoyl-CoA desaturase

monounsaturated fatty acid synthesis,oleic acid synthesis,

Rat (10116)

1q54[83792 ], 1q54[246074 ],

An iron protein. The rat liver enzyme is an enzyme system involving cytochrome b5 and EC 1.6.2.2, cytochrome-b5 reductase. The ferricytochrome b5 produced is reduced by NADH and cytochrome-b5 reductase (EC 1.6.2.2).

"A key enzyme involved in this process is the membrane-bound stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the cellular synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids from saturated fatty acids." (10484602)

"Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids by insertion of a cis-double bond in the Delta9 position of fatty acid substrates." (10581155)

transcriptional factor;PPARalpha(25747)

"PPARalpha is required to mediate the response of Scd-1 and Fas gene expression to insulin and that this is normally achieved directly by activation of LXRalpha." (18079124)
