What is Fatty Acid Synthesis Overview about?

1) Fatty acid synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm and involves acetyl-CoA carboxylase and the fatty acid synthase complex. 2) Acetyl-CoA is transported from mitochondria to the cytoplasm by being converted to citrate first, then cleaved by citrate lyase back to acetyl-CoA in the cytoplasm. 3) Fatty acid synthesis involves repeated cycles of condensation of acetyl-CoA with malonyl-CoA, followed by reduction, dehydration, and reduction again to add two carbon units each time, using NADPH as the reducin
