The book shows that beginning with simple cellular models of differentiation a broad and comprehensive analysis of the SCD gene family in a number of species and biological systems has been carried out over the course of the last twenty five years. SCD is a central enzyme in lipid metabolism that synthesizes monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) from saturated fatty acid precursors. At first glance, SCD would be considered a housekeeping enzyme because its product oleate is a well-known MUFA that is abundant in many dietary sources and tissue lipids. A particular highlight in the chapters of the book is that MUFAs may have signaling properties that regulate metabolism. For example, a proper ratio of saturated to MUFA contributes to membrane fluidity, and oleate has also been implicated as a mediator of signal transduction, cellular differentiation and metabolic homeostasis. It is also highlighted that SCD-1 repression mediates the metabolic effects of the hormone leptin. Conditional alleles and corresponding tissue-specific knockout mouse models for many of the SCD gene isorfms have provided a wealth of information on not only tissue-specific fatty acid metabolism but also the key transcription factors that regulate SCD expression under a variety of metabolic and genetic backgrounds. The studies described indicate that control of SCD expression occurs via a series of complex signal transduction schemes making SCD one of the most highly studied lipogenic gene families to date. 606 $aHuman genetics 606 $aEndocrinology  606 $aLipids 606 $aHuman Genetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008 606 $aEndocrinology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33053 606 $aLipidology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14080 615 0$aHuman genetics. 615 0$aEndocrinology . 615 0$aLipids. 615 14$aHuman Genetics. 615 24$aEndocrinology. 615 24$aLipidology. 676 $a572.57 676 $a599935 676 $a610 676 $a611.01816 702 $aNtambi$b Ph.D., James M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437615603321 996 $aStearoyl-CoA Desaturase Genes in Lipid Metabolism$92513096 997 $aUNINA
