De Novo Synthesis of Fatty Acids (Palmitic Acid)
De Novo Synthesis of Fatty Acids: Acetyl CoA is used in fatty acid synthesis after its carboxylation and conversion to malonyl CoA. In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is Carboxylated to malonyl CoA by a biotin-containing enzyme, referred to as acetyl CoA carboxylase. This coenzyme is covalently linked to the lysys residue of the enzyme, which … Read more
