Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

SCD1 (R347) Antibody detects endogenous levels of total SCD1 protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) derived from the sequence around R347 of human SCD1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Background

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) is a key lipogenic enzyme found in the endoplasmic reticulum that catalyzes the conversion of palmitoyl?CoA and stearoyl?CoA to palmitoleoyl?CoA (16:1) and oleoyl?CoA (18:1) (1-3). Palmitoleate and oleate are the major components of triglycerides, membrane phospholipids and cholesterol esters (1). SCD1-knockout mice show improved insulin sensitivity and reduced body fat (1). Disruption of SCD1 in mouse brown adipose tissue strengthens insulin signaling and results in increased translocation of Glut4 to plasma membrane and enhanced uptake of glucose (4). Furthermore, SCD1 is essential for the onset of diet-induced body weight gain (1) and insulin resistance in the liver (5).
