Pathway Description
Fatty Acid Metabolism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Metabolic Pathway
Fatty acids constitute a large energy source for the body. The cellular membrane is also made up of fatty acids. Fatty acid metabolism is also known as beta-oxidation. During metabolism, acetyl CoA is produced that can then enter the citric acid cycle. When ATP is needed, ATP may be generated by increasing fatty acid metabolism. Fatty acid metabolism is essentially the reverse reaction of fatty acid synthesis. .
