  • Title: [Regulation of lipid synthesis in animal organs].
    Author: Numa S.
    Journal: Naturwissenschaften; 1975 Feb; 62(2):80-6. PubMed ID: 1682.
    Abstract:
    Studies were made of the mechanisms regulating the quantity and catalytic efficiency of hepatic acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, which plays a critical role in the control of fatty acid biosynthesis. The microsomal enzyme system responsible for the formation of phosphatidic acid, the initial step in glycerolipid biosynthesis, was resolved into two component enzymes. The acyl-donor specificities of these and other acyltransferases account for the asymmetric fatty acid distribution in naturally occurring glycerolipids.
