A functional variant in the stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene promoter enhances fatty acid desaturation in pork.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Estany Joan, Ros-Freixedes Roger, Tor Marc, Pena Ramona N

Abstract excerpt

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 (18 ∶ 1) by desaturating stearic acid (18 ∶ 0). Here we describe a total of 18 mutations in the promoter and 3' non-coding region of the pig SCD gene and provide evidence that allele T at AY487830:g.2228T>C in the promoter region enhances fat...
