Scd3

Enables palmitoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Acts upstream of or within monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum; membrane; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Scd3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
