Triacylglycerol Synthesis and Lipolysis Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol / ER

step 10 Irreversible/directional

MAG + H2O → glycerol + free fatty acid

Converts Monoacylglycerol H2O into Glycerol Fatty acid

Notes

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL; MGLL) completes hydrolysis. Released NEFAs bind serum albumin for transport; glycerol travels mainly to liver for glycerol-3-phosphate production, gluconeogenesis, or glycolysis.
