malfunction | dysregulation of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 likely contributes to obesity associated metabolic disturbances. Effect of genetic ablation of SCD1 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes on membrane microdomain lipid composition at the species-specific level, overview. 90% reduction in scd1 mRNA expression, caused by siRNA expression, leads to altered cellular lipid composition, SCD1 knockout modifies the acyl chain composition of lipids, as well as the lipid composition per se of membrane microdomains in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.The effects of SCD1 knockout are not limited to alterations in 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids. Cholesterol content is unchanged although decreases in other lipids result in cholesterol accounting for a higher proportion of lipid in the membranes. This is associated with decreased membrane lateral diffusion. An increased ratio of 24:0 to 24:1 in ceramide, mono- and dihexosylceramide, and sphingomyelin likely also contributes to this decrease in lateral diffusion. Lipidomic profiling is targeted to specific membrane microdomains, overview. A decrease in phospholipids containing arachidonic acid is observed. Given the high degree of structural flexibility of this acyl chain this will influence membrane lateral diffusion, and is likely responsible for the transcriptional activation of Lands' cycle enzymes lpcat3 and mboat7 | Mus musculus |
physiological function | stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 is a lipogenic enzyme important for the regulation of membrane lipid homeostasis. The enzyme catalyses the insertion of a cis double bond in 12-19 carbon saturated fatty acids, thereby converting them to monounsaturated fatty acids. Through this activity, SCD1 helps to regulate the ratio of saturated to monounsaturated acyl chains in membrane lipids influencingmembrane fluidity and functionality, both essential for maintaining cellular integrity. Adaptive homeostatic mechanisms to ensure partial maintenance of the biophysical properties of membranes likely occur at a post-transcriptional level | Mus musculus |
