Abstract excerpt
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 isolation and molecular characterization of the full-length cDNA and the determination of the genomic DNA sequence of the porcine SCD gene. The 5134-bp cDNA contains a 1080-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein of 359 amino...
