About this document
Facilitated Transport of Long-Chain Fatty Acids by Ricardo Ormaza is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This review discusses the membrane transport of long-chain fatty acids (FA) in mammalian cells, highlighting both passive and facilitated uptake mechanisms. Evidence for facilitated transport includes saturation kinetics, substrate competition, and sensitivity to inhibitors, suggesting that cellular uptake is regulated by the concentration of unbound FA and the presence of specific membrane proteins. The findings challenge the notion that FA uptake is solely passive and emphasize the importance of protein-f
