Preliminary analysis of Stearoyl Co-A Desaturase gene transcripts in River buffalo

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). In cattle, SCD gene extends over a DNA segment of ~17.0 Kb, and it is organized in 6 exons and 5 introns. The SCD gene has been indicated as the candidate gene to change the saturated/unsaturate...
