| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables palmitoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity and stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Acts upstream of or within monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display neonatal lethality with variable penetrance depending on strain background, impaired skin barrier function, abnormal epidermal morphology, and abnormal lipid homeostasis in the skin and liver.
