Anti-Delta-9-Desaturase antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Delta-9-Desaturase antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SCD gene, which encodes stearoyl-CoA desaturase. This protein is reported to be a Stearoyl-CoA desaturase that utilizes O(2) and electrons from reduced cytochrome b5 to introduce the first double bond into saturated fatty acyl-CoA substrates. The human version of Delta-9-Desaturase has a canonical amino acid length of 359 residues and a protein mass of 41.5 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the ER of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include FADS5, MSTP008, and SCD1. Indicated applications for Delta-9-Desaturase antibodies listed below include ELISA and Western Blot.
