LOC681458 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable iron ion binding activity; palmitoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity; and stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Predicted to be involved in monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process; response to fatty acid; and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
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 rat Loc681458 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
