How can you use “acyl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The modules each contain an acyl transferase (to load the extender unit onto the enzyme), as well as a ketosynthase and an ACP domain, together with exactly those reductive activities needed to generate the required pattern of modification of the chain at each step of elongation.
In these proteins, the GOLD domain co-occurs with lipid-, sterol- or fatty acid-binding domains such as PH [ 20, 21], Sec14p [ 22], FYVE [ 23], oxysterol binding- and acyl CoA-binding domains, suggesting that these proteins may interact with membranes.
Finally, the MP fractions were summed and 100 was subtracted from that sum to provide the estimate of the MMP of the acyl chains of the phospholipid preparation.
In the liver, intestine, adipose, and mammary gland, the cytoplasmic form synthesizes acetyl CoA for lipogenesis [ 46 ] . It is regulated by SREBP-1a, -1c- and -2, as well as SP1 and SP3 binding to GC-boxes; the promoter also contains an E-box [ 47 ] . It is down regulated with fasting, and induced with re-feeding; such dietary regulation does not exist in SREBP-1 knockout mice [ 48 ] . More generally, acyl CoA synthase is reported to be PPARα-activated [ 49 ] . The observed down regulation is consistent with less acetyl CoA available for the ACC reaction, as well as a plethora of other reactions.
Cpt1 transfers acyl residues from CoA to carnitine in the intermembrane space of the inner mitochondrial membrane, and has a regulatory role in controlling hepatic β-oxidation [ 50 ] . Cpt2 transfers carnitinoyl residues to CoA in the mitochondrial matrix for β-oxidation.
