Stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (Δ-9-desaturase or SCD-1) is an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the formation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), specifically oleate and palmitoleate from stearoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-CoA. Oleate and palmitoleate are major components of membrane phospholipids, cholesterol esters and…
