Chapter 16 (Part 3) Fatty acid Synthesis
ACP vs. Coenzyme A
Fatty Acid Synthesis Occurs in the Cytosol Citrate synthase Citrate Lyase Malate dehydrogenase Malate Enzyme Pyruvate carboxylase
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Acetyl-CoA + HCO3- + ATP malonyl-CoA + ADP
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
Regulation of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase)
Animal Fatty Acid Synthase
Further Processing of Fatty acids: Desaturation and Elongation
Allosteric regulation of fatty acid synthesis occurs at ACCase and the carnitine acyltransferase
