There is growing public concern about reducing saturated fat intake. Stearoyl-CoA
desaturase (SCD) is the lipogenic enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of oleic acid …

Fatty acid composition and fat desaturation+ have profound effects on meat quality. One of
the major enzymes participating in fatty acid metabolism is the stearoyl-CoA desaturase …

Fatty acid composition in porcine intramuscular fat affects the dietetic value and
technological properties of meat. The stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) gene is a strong …

Fatness qualities in pigs measured by the amount of fat deposition and composition of fatty
acids (FAs) in pork have considerable effect on current breeding goals. The stearoyl-CoA …

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) plays a key role in lipid metabolism in humans and
livestock. In ruminants, changes in the coding and/or regulatory sequences of the SCD gene …

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of unsaturated
fatty acids. So far only a partial porcine SCD sequence is available. Here we described the …

Stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD) is responsible for converting SFA into MUFA and plays an
important role in regulating the fatty acid composition of tissues. Although the number of …

Gene expression studies in humans and animals have shown that elevated stearoyl-CoA
desaturase (SCD1) activity is associated with increased fat accumulation and …

Fat deposition, which influences pork production, meat quality and growth efficiency, is an
economically important trait in pigs. Numerous studies have demonstrated that stearoyl-CoA …

To investigate the genetic factors that affect fatty acid composition of beef, we compared the
full-length bovine stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) cDNA from 20 Japanese Black steers …
