Facts about Acyl-CoA desaturase 1.
Gives rise to a mixture of 16:1 and 18:1 unsaturated fatty acids (PubMed:11500518, PubMed:11533264, PubMed:16443825, PubMed:26098370). Plays an essential role in lipid biosynthesis (PubMed:17127673, PubMed:10899171, PubMed:11500518, PubMed:11441127, PubMed:11533264, PubMed:12177411, PubMed:26098370).

Detected in liver (at protein level) (PubMed:10899171, PubMed:11533264). Detected in skin and liver (PubMed:10545940, PubMed:11161812, PubMed:11441127, PubMed:11533264). Detected in sebaceous gland, but not in hair follicle (PubMed:10545940). Detected in white and brown adipose tissue, eyelid, Harderian gland, and at lower levels in Meibomian gland, eyeball and adrenal gland (PubMed:11500518, PubMed:11533264). Highly expressed in liver, and detected at low levels in brain, heart, lung, stomach, skeletal muscle and kidney (PubMed:11161812, PubMed:12815040).
