Fatty acid biosynthesis

The production of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH through the use of enzymes known as fatty acid synthases is referred to as fatty acid synthesis. This biological process occurs within the cytoplasm of cells. The majority of acetyl-CoA that is transformed into fatty acids originates from carbohydrates through the glycolytic pathway.通过名为脂肪酸合酶的酶，将乙酰辅酶A和NADPH转化为脂肪酸的过程被称为脂肪酸合成。该生物过程发生在细胞质中。大部分转化为脂肪酸的乙酰辅酶A均源自碳水化合物，通过糖酵解途径生成。
