Fatty Acid Synthesis Pathway: Overview, Enzymes and Regulation

The video tutorial explains fatty acid synthesis, detailing where it occurs, the necessary components, and the process itself. It covers the transport of acetyl CoA via citrate, the role of carboxy biotin, and the regulation of synthesis by various factors. The structure and function of the fatty acid synthase complex are discussed, along with the elongation of the fatty acid chain. The tutorial concludes with the completion of the synthesis process, resulting in the production of palmitate, a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid.
