As the name indicates, branched-chain fatty acids have one or more branches in their carbon chain. The branched-chain fatty acid synthesizing system is a unique enzymatic system that is involved in the production of branched-chain fatty acids. To add branches to the fatty acid molecule, this ...
The distribution of the synthesized fatty acids among the main classes of lipid has been studied. Addition of coenzyme-A to the medium inhibited the de novo synthesis pathway and made elongation the main synthetic route by which the radioactive acetate was incorporated into fatty acids. Direct ...
"Lipid metabolism, in particular the synthesis of fatty acids (FAs), is an essential cellular process that converts nutrients into metabolic intermediates for membrane biosynthesis... FA synthesis has received substantial attention as a potential target for cancer therapy,...,efforts to target this ...

3 Fatty acid synthesis The synthesis of fatty acids is a critical anabolic pathway in mammals. It occurs in the cytosol and initiates with the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA (Fig. 1). This irreversible reaction is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of fatty acids and catalys...

Fatty acids are essential components of membranes, and are also involved in cell signalling. Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria, scavenges fatty acids from its hosts. However, Plasmodium also possesses enzymes for a prokaryotic-like de novo fatty acid synthesis pathway, which resides in th...

The α-ketoacid elongation (α-KAE) pathway is an unusual pathway to synthesizesaturated fatty acidsthat adds one carbon per cycle to the carbon chain. This pathway is mainly involved in formation of the alkyl components of trichome exudate (gum) sugar esters inNicotianaandPetunia. ...
