Scd4 - stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 4

Predicted to enable iron ion binding activity; palmitoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity; and stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to nutrient; monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process; and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
