A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of SCD antibody, Alternative Names: SCD control peptide, SCD antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-SCD Blocking Peptide, Stearoyl-Coa Desaturase Blocking Peptide, Delta-9-Desaturase Blocking Peptide
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase ( fatty acid desaturase, SCD) is expressed at high levels in several human tissues and is required for the biosynthesis of oleate (18:1) and palmitoleate (16:1). These monounsaturated fatty acids are the major components of phospholipids, triglycerides, wax esters, and cholesterol esters.
