Feb 26, 2024 · Fatty acyls are a group of lipids that contain a fatty acid or its derivative. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with an alkyl chain that is usually unbranched and containing an …

Acyl-CoA is a group of CoA -based coenzymes that metabolize carboxylic acids. Fatty acyl-CoA 's are susceptible to beta oxidation, forming, ultimately, acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA enters the …

Fatty acyl groups from oilseeds (e.g., palm, palm kernel and coconut, other oils, and algae), animal fats, and their derivatives (e.g., fatty alcohols and amines); carbohydrates, proteins, …

Fatty acyl-CoA esters are fatty acid derivatives formed of one fatty acid, a 3'-phospho-AMP linked to phosphorylated pantothenic acid (vitamin B 5) and cysteamine. Long-chain acyl-CoA esters …

Feb 16, 2024 · Fatty acid oxidation is initiated on the outer mitochondrial membrane. There the fatty acids, which like carbohydrates are relatively inert, must first be activated by conversion …

Apr 20, 2021 · Fatty acid synthesis is carried out by the fatty acid synthase system, comprised of seven enzymes linked together with an acyl carrier protein (ACP). As mentioned, this complex …

May 1, 2005 · The fatty acyl group in the fatty acids and conjugates class (Table 4) is characterized by a repeating series of methylene groups that impart hydrophobic character to …

Fatty-acyl-CoA synthase, or more commonly known as yeast fatty acid synthase (and not to be confused with long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase), is an enzyme complex responsible for …

Acyl synthetases metabolically activate fatty acids to their thioester forms, and acyl thioesterases deactivate fatty acyl thioesters to free fatty acids by hydrolysis. These two enzyme classes …

Long-chain fatty acids from exogenous or endogenous sources are activated to acyl-CoAs by one of 13 acyl-CoA synthetase isoforms. The free fatty acids are ligands for nuclear transcription …
