Description |
Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-7 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Involved in fatty acid biosynthetic process and post-embryonic development. Acts upstream of or within intracellular oxygen homeostasis and response to hypoxia. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 79. Orthologous to human SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase) and SCD5 (stearoyl-CoA desaturase 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025] |
