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.
