Document Summary
Study guide chapter 17 fatty acid catabolism. Is protein in the membrane the lipoprotein or is the whole assembly a lipoprotein. Micelles that contain both proteins and lipids in their membranes. Chylomicron lipoprotein containing triacylglycerols and cholesterol and apolipoprotein on the surface: travel through lymph and blood stream to be delivered to tissues. Explain the process of how a triacylglyceride is turned into a monoacylglycerol (mag) and then to a free fatty acid (ffa). Lipases break down triacylglycerols into fatty acids. Hsl hormone sensitive lipase fat droplets are covered in perilipin which restrict access to the tag"s inside hsl phosphorylates perilipins, causing them to separate. Fatty acids are easily hydrolyzed into base salts (a. k. a detergents) which is dangerous. Instead, they are bound to serum albumin, a plasma transporter globular protein which allows for safe transport of fatty acids within the blood stream. For animals, glycerol can be glucogenic once processed to glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate (g3p)
