Fatty acid biosynthesis (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
Fatty acid synthesis is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH through the action of enzymes called fatty acid synthases. This process takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. Most of the acetyl-CoA which is converted into fatty acids is derived from carbohydrates via the glycolytic pathway. Source: Wikipedia
Proteins on this pathway have targeted assays available via the CPTAC Assay Portal
