Comparison of synthesis and degradation
Fatty Acid Synthesis
? Occurs mainly in liver and adipocytes (mammals) ? FA synthesis and degradation occur by two
completely separate pathways ? When glucose is plentiful, large amounts of acetyl
CoA are produced by glycolysis and can be used for fatty acid synthesis ? Glucose oxidation in the pentose phosphate pathway provides NADPH for FA synthesis
Transfer of Acetyl CoA
? Acetyl CoA from catabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids is exported from mitochondria via the citrate transport system (Fig 16.15, next slide)
? Cytosolic NADH also converted to NADPH ? Two molecules of ATP are expended for each round of this cyclic pathway ? One molecule of NADPH is produced for each acetyl CoA ? Transferred from the mitochondria. Produce 8 NADPH for one Palmitate
produced.
Formation of Malonyl CoA
? Acetyl Co A carboxylase ? Biotin containing enzyme ? Carboxybiotin intermediate is formed ? Hydrolysis of ATP catalyzes the reaction ? Regulatory site for Fatty acid biosynthesis
Intermediates attached to Acyl carrier protein
? Phosphopantetheine group in ACP and coenzyme A
