Lipid Biosynthesis
Fatty Acid Synthesis
condensation
reduction
dehydration
reduction
Prep
Malonyl CoA and acetyl CoA (or longer fatty
acyl chain) are bound to FAS I and lose CoA.
Reaction
Acyl Carrier Protein (ACP) Serves as a
Shuttle in Fatty Acid Synthesis
flexible arm
Delivers acetate or malonate
Shuttles the growing chain
Anabolism of fatty acids
requires acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA ,reducing power from NADPH
takes place in cytosol
NADPH Levels Are High
Sources of NADPH
in adipocytes
pentose phosphate pathway and malic enzyme
in hepatocytes and mammary gland
pentose phosphate pathway
Malonyl-CoA Is Formed from
Acetyl-CoA and Bicarbonate
Catalyzed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase
