Short summary
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 is a critical enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the level of mRNA of SCD1 gene in three different ovine tissues strongly associated with lipid homeostasis. The significant correlation between SCD1 transcript abundance and fattening and slaughtering traits (fatness traits) indicates the ability to improve important production traits in sheep via modification of expression of SCD1 gene.
