Omega-9 FAs (Fatty acids) are fats which can be obtained from diet, but also produced endogenously. These lipids are monounsaturated (indicating one double bonds in the lipid tail).The position of the double bond is counted from the tail end of the lipid chain.
This pathway also indicated saturated fats (without a double bond), such as stearic acid, arachidic acid etc.

"highly expressed in brain" [PMID:22745828]; "most abundantly expressed in pancreas and brain" [PMID:15610069], "transcripts from adult and foetal tissues exhibit different sizes because of alternative splicing in the non-coding region, suggesting that hSCD2 (aka SCD5, red.) expression is developmentally regulated."
