| Gene name: | SCD; |
| Protein name: | Acyl-CoA desaturase; |
| Alternative: | Stearoyl-CoA desaturase;Delta(9)-desaturase(Delta-9 desaturase);Fatty acid desaturase; |
| Organism: | Human (Homo sapiens). |
| Sub Unit: | N/A |
| Function: | Terminal component of the liver microsomal stearyl-CoA desaturase system, that utilizes O(2) and electrons from reduced cytochrome b5 to catalyze the insertion of a double bond into a spectrum of fatty acyl-CoA substrates including palmitoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA. |
