What it does, reaction by reaction
Fatty Acid Synthesis (De Novo Lipogenesis) Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol
Palmitoyl-ACP + H2O → palmitate + ACP
Converts Palmitoyl-ACP H2O into Palmitate ACP (acyl carrier protein)
› Notes
The thioesterase (TE) domain of FAS hydrolyzes palmitoyl-ACP, terminating synthesis predominantly at C16. This is effectively irreversible by hydrolysis, but ACC—not thioesterase—is the pathway’s principal rate-limiting step.
