Limiting factory for fatty acid synthesis_________________?
Correct answer: A. Acetyl CoA carboxylase
- A. Acetyl CoA carboxylase
- B. Acyl transferase
- C. Aceto acetate synthetase
- D. Biotin
Explanation
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is the rate-limiting and regulatory enzyme of fatty-acid synthesis, producing malonyl-CoA from acetyl-CoA. Biotin is its required cofactor, not the rate-limiting enzyme itself.
