Post Translational Modifications | S-nitrosylation of Fatty acid synthase at cysteine residues Cys-1464 or Cys-2085 is important for the enzyme dimerization. In adipocytes, S-nitrosylation of Fatty acid synthase occurs under physiological conditions and gradually increases during adipogenesis. |
Function | Fatty acid synthetase is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the de novo biosynthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acids starting from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA in the presence of NADPH. This multifunctional protein contains 7 catalytic activities and a site for the binding of the prosthetic group 4'-phosphopantetheine of the acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain. |
