Stearyl-CoA desaturase that utilizes O(2) and electrons from reduced cytochrome b5 to introduce the first double bond into saturated fatty acyl-CoA substrates. Catalyzes the insertion of a cis double bond at the delta-9 position into fatty acyl-CoA substrates including palmitoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA (PubMed:15907797, PubMed:15610069). Gives rise to a mixture of 16:1 and 18:1 unsaturated fatty acids.

Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.
