fatty acid synthesis Flashcards
synthesis of fatty acids occurs from what
excess dietary carbohydrate
what is required to synthesize fatty acids
acetyl CoA
where must the acetyl CoA be transferred to
the cytosol
what is the key control point in fatty acid synthesis
acetyl CoA carboxylase
what is the role of citrate in fatty acid synthesis
stimulates enzyme activity
what is the role of palmitoyl in fatty acid synthesis
inhibits enzyme activity
where are the 2-C fragments donated from
malonyl CoA
explain priming in fatty acid synthesis
addition of acetyl CoA to the acyl carrier protein
catalyzed by ACP acetyltransferase
the loss of coenzyme A
where is the acetyl group passed from and to
from = ACP protein
to = B-ketoacyl synthase
what does the ACP protein accept after losing the acetyl group and where from and what is lost
the carbon skeleton from malonyl CoA
the loss of coenzyme A
