A higher content of C16:1 n-10 has recently been reported in the preputial gland of mice with a targeted disruption of the gene encoding Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1 -/- mice) when compared to wild-type mice. This result has provided the first physiological evidence for the presence and regulation of a palmitoyl-CoA D6-desaturase in mammals. To investigate the putative involvement of the known D6-desaturase (FADS2) in this process, COS-7 cells expressing rat D6-desaturase were incubated with C16:0. Transfected cells were able to synthesize C16:1 n-10, while non-transfected cells did not produce any C16:1 n-10. Evidence is therefore presented that the rat D6-desaturase, which acts on the 18- and 24-carbon fatty acids of the n-6 and n-3 series, is also able to catalyze palmitic acid D6-desaturation.
