PKA phosphorylates numerous metabolic enzymes, including glycogen synthase and phosphorylase kinase, which inhibit glycogen synthesis and promote glycogen breakdown, respectively, and acetyl CoA carboxylase, which inhibits lipid synthesis. PKA also regulates other signaling pathways. For example, it ...
Which enzyme activates fatty acid to acyl CoA? Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC)is a central enzyme involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and fatty acid biosynthesis. ACC catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA producing malonyl-CoA, which can be used by fatty acid synthase for fatty acid biosynthesis...
1. Potential of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase to act as a therapeutic agent for obesity One of the major ways whereby a person can lose weight when they are obese is by undergoing a fast so that the enzyme Acetyl CoA carboxylase can degrade the present excess lipid found in the body. Degrad...
The two major enzymes of DNL, fatty acid synthase and acetyl CoA carboxylase, are abundantly expressed in fat under the control of sterol-response-element-binding protein 1c (SREBP1c) and carbohydrate-response-element-binding protein (ChREBP). Though SREBP1c is the dominant regulator of DNL ...
If a drug binds to an enzyme and allosterically activates the action of the enzyme, which statements are true regarding the enzyme? 1. The allosteric site is only used to help enzymes form dimers, and the drug will not affect the action of the enzyme. 2. ...
(TERT), or by expression of the human papillomavirus E6 protein, which inactivates p53 (Ref.113). One intriguing and yet to be tested possibility is that the enhanced basal levels of DNA damage in progerin-expressing cells may be located directly at telomeres, reflecting a defect in telomere...
What kind of reaction does the carboxylase enzyme catalyze? The term that refers to all of the chemical reactions in living cells is: a. anabolism b. metabolism c. glycolysis d. catabolism Given the reaction glucose + Pi gives glucose-6-phosphate + H2O, which requires energy to proceed, ho...
Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle: The tricarboxylic acid cycle or TCA cycle is one of the unique metabolic pathways in mitochondria and is an important step of the aerobic pathway. The first chemical acceptor of the cycle is the oxaloacetate, which ...
What substance is the starting point of the citric acid cycle reacting with acetyl CoA in the first step and being regenerated in the last step? Which intermediate in glycolysis activates the phosphorylated form of glycogen synthase? A. glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate B. fruc...
