| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable iron ion binding activity and stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Involved in several processes, including cuticle hydrocarbon biosynthetic process; mating behavior, sex discrimination; and pheromone biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval midgut primordium; gonad; oenocyte; organism subdivision; and reproductive system. Used to study restrictive cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 79. Orthologous to several human genes including SCD5 (stearoyl-CoA desaturase 5).
