Beta Oxidation Of Fatty Acids Flashcards
Beta oxidation location
Inner mitochondria or matrix
Principals means by which FA oxidized to forms ATPs
Beta oxidation
Process of beta oxidation
Removal of 2 carbon atoms at a time
Removals start at COOH (carboxyl end)
Major end product of beta oxidation
Acetyl CoA
Very first reaction of beta oxidation takes place in the
Cytoplasm
The chemical reactions in beta oxidation are usually opposite to
Lipogenisis
Addition of 2 carbons at a time
Lipogenesis
Lipogenesis location
Cytoplasm
Lipogenesis
Substrate
Acetyl CoA
All even number fatty acids the end products
Acetylcoa
If odd number fatty acids
It will undergo usual beta oxidation but when you already have 5 remaining carbon atoms minus 2 3 carbon atoms, profunyl CoA, then methyl malonyl coa, then succinyl coa
3 carbon atom molecule
Profunyl coA
Intermediate of krebs cycle
Succinyl coa
Reaction 1
Free fatty acid +CoA + ATP to
Fatty Acyl CoA
Reaction 1 location
Cytoplasm
Reaction 1 enzyme
Thiokinase (Acyl CoA synthetase)
ATP reaction
ATP to AMP + PPI + Heat
Enzyme
Pyrophosphate
ATP reaction
PPi to Pi + Pi + heat
Enzyme
Pyrophosphatase
Reaction 2
Carnitine transport system
Reaction 2.1
Fatty Acyl CoA + Carnitine to
Acylcarnitine (Fatty Acyl Carnitine Complex)
Reaction 2.1
Enzyme
Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase 1
Rate limiting enzyme
Location of the enzyme in reaction 2.1
Outer mitochondrial membrane
Enzyme in reaction 2.1 inhibited by
Malonyl CoA
Intermediate in extramitochondrial lipogenesis
Malonyl CoA
Kaya hindi pwedeng magkasbay ang lipogenesis at beta oxydation
Reaction 2.1
Location of the reaction:
Intermitochondrial space
Rate limiting step and commited step
Reaction 2.1
Reaction 2.2
Acylcarnitine goes
Inside the super inside of the mitochondria (mitochondrial matrix)
Reaction 2.2
Enzyme
Carnitine Acylcarnitine Translocase
Reaction 2.2
Location of the enzyme
Inner mitochondrial membrane
Reaction 2.2
Type of enzyme
Co transporter
Anti port
