Summary Introduction
To review:
The various kinds of regulations of fatty acid biosynthesis.
Introduction:
A fatty acid is a major constituent of lipids in all living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. A fatty acid has a linear chain of even-numbered carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, and a carboxyl group. They are divided into saturated, poly-unsaturated, and mono-unsaturated fatty acids.
