The following points highlight the top three systems for fatty acid synthesis. The systems are: 1. Mitochondrial System 2. Microsomal System for Chain Elongation 3. Extra Mitochondrial System for De NOVO Synthesis. Fatty Acid Synthesis System # 1. Mitochondrial System: a. Mitochondria catalyze the incorporation of acetyl-CoA into long chain fatty acids under anaerobic conditions. b. The enzymes are mostly [...]
