Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-6 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Involved in innate immune response; long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process; and post-embryonic development. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in hypodermis and 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] |
