Fatty Acid Synthesis: Part 1

Ninja Nerds!

Join Professor Zach Murphy in part 1 of this two part series on fatty acid synthesis. In this lecture we discuss the conversion of Acetyl-CoA into Malonyl-CoA, along with the allosteric and hormonal regulation of the enzymes involved in this pathway. Finally, we talk about the regulatory effects on carnitine palmitoyltransferase (type I, & II) which are involved in the fatty acid oxidation pathway.
