fatty acid with a cis-9
double bond
A 16-C fatty acid with numbering conventions is shown.
Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an even number
of carbon atoms.
The pathway for catabolism of fatty acids is referred to
as the b-oxidation pathway, because oxidation occurs at
the b-carbon (C-3).

triacylglycerol
Triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are the most abundant
dietary lipids. They are the form in which we store reduced
C for energy.
Each triacylglycerol has a glycerol backbone to which are
esterified 3 fatty acids
Most triacylglycerols are “mixed.” The 3 fatty acids differ
in chain length & number of double bonds.

fatty acid with a cis-9
double bond
Free fatty acids, which in solution have detergent
properties, are transported in the blood bound to
albumin, a serum protein produced by the liver.
Several proteins have been identified that facilitate
transport of long chain fatty acids into cells, including
the plasma membrane protein CD36.
Fatty acid activation:
Fatty acids must be esterified to Coenzyme A before they
can undergo oxidative degradation, be utilized for synthesis
of complex lipids, or be attached to proteins as lipid
anchors.
Acyl-CoA Synthases (Thiokinases) of ER & outer
mitochondrial membranes catalyze activation of long chain
fatty acids, esterifying them to coenzyme A.
This process is ATP-dependent, & occurs in 2 steps.
There are different Acyl-CoA Synthases for fatty acids of
different chain lengths.

Carnitine-mediated transfer of the fatty acyl moiety into

1. Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase I, an enzyme on the
cytosolic surface of the outer mitochondrial membrane,
transfers a fatty acid from CoA to the OH on carnitine.
2. An antiporter in the inner mitochondrial membrane
mediates exchange of carnitine for acylcarnitine.

Increased fatty acid oxidation then generates acetyl-CoA,
for entry into Krebs cycle with associated ATP production.
AMP-Activated Kinase functions under a variety of
conditions that lead to depletion of cellular ATP
(reflected as increased AMP), including:
 glucose deprivation, exercise, hypoxia & ischaemia.
AMP-Activated Kinase regulates various metabolic
pathways to:
 promote catabolism leading to ATP synthesis
(e.g., stimulation of fatty acid oxidation)
 inhibit energy-utilizing anabolic pathways
(e.g., fatty acid synthesis).
AMP-Activated Kinase in the hypothalamus of the
brain is involved also in regulation of food intake.

Human genetic diseases have been identified that
involve mutations in:
 the plasma membrane fatty acid transporter CD36
 Carnitine Palmitoyltransferases I & II (required for
transfer of fatty acids into mitochondria)
 Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenases for various chain lengths
of fatty acids
 Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenases for medium &
short chain length fatty acids
 Medium Chain b-Ketothiolase
 the trifunctional protein complex
 Electron Transfer Flavoprotein (ETF).
Human genetic diseases:
Symptoms vary depending on the specific genetic
defect but may include:
 hypoglycemia and failure to increase ketone body
production during fasting
 fatty degeneration of the liver
 heart and/or skeletal muscle defects
 maternal complications of pregnancy
 sudden infant death (SIDS).
Hereditary deficiency of Medium Chain Acyl-CoA
Dehydrogenase (MCAD), the most common genetic
disease relating to fatty acid catabolism, has been
linked to SIDS.
The reactions presented accomplish catabolism of a
fatty acid with an even number of C atoms &
no double bonds.
Additional enzymes deal with catabolism of fatty
acids with an odd number of C atoms or with double
bonds.
 The final round of b-oxidation of a fatty acid with
an odd number of C atoms yields acetyl-CoA &
propionyl-CoA.
Propionyl-CoA is converted to the Krebs cycle
intermediate succinyl-CoA, by a pathway
involving vitamin B12 (to be presented later).
 Most double bonds of naturally occurring fatty acids
have the cis configuration.
As C atoms are removed two at a time, a double bond
may end up in the wrong position or wrong
configuration to be the correct substrate for EnoylCoA Hydratase.
The reactions that allow unsaturated fatty acids to be
fully catabolized by the b-oxidation pathway are
summarized in the textbook.
Peroxisome
Single membrane
Crystalline inclusion
often present
Enzymes, some of which produce H2O2 , &
always including Catalase, that degrades H2O2.
b-Oxidation of very long-chain fatty acids also occurs
within peroxisomes.
FAD is e acceptor for peroxisomal Acyl-CoA Oxidase,
which catalyzes the 1st oxidative step of the pathway.
Within the peroxisome, FADH2 generated by fatty acid
oxidation is reoxidized producing hydrogen peroxide:
FADH2 + O2  FAD + H2O2
The peroxisomal enzyme Catalase degrades H2O2:
2 H2O2  2 H2O + O2
These reactions produce no ATP.
Once fatty acids are reduced in length within the
peroxisomes they may shift to the mitochondria to be
catabolized all the way to CO2.
Carnitine is involved in transfer of fatty acids into and
out of peroxisomes.
Serious genetic diseases are associated with defects in or
deficiency of enzymes of the peroxisomal b-oxidation
system.
Peroxisomes also contain enzymes for an essential
-oxidation pathway that degrades fatty acids having
methyl branches, such as phytanic acid, a breakdown
product of chlorophyll.

Ketone bodies are transported in the blood to other cells,
where they are converted back to acetyl-CoA for
catabolism in Krebs cycle, to generate ATP.
While ketone bodies thus function as an alternative fuel,
amino acids must be degraded to supply input to
gluconeogenesis when hypoglycemia occurs, since acetate
cannot be converted to glucose.
