ratelimiting enzyme in fatty acid synthesis ?
Fatty Acid Synthesis * Fatty acids are built from 2-C units derived from acetyl-CoA * Acetate units are activated for transfer to growing FA chain by conversion to malonyl-CoA * Decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA and reducing power of NADPH drive chain growth * Chain grows to 16-carbons (eight acetyl-CoAs) * Other enzymes add double bonds and more ref : lipincott 9th ed
