Protein acyl-transporting

Acyl-transfer proteins (B) play an important role in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. They are involved in the transfer of acyl groups (long chains of fatty acids) from trans-acylases and oxidative enzymes to pantothenic acid molecules (4-phosphopantothenate).

B consists of a polypeptide with a mass of about 10 kDa, which is covalently linked to 4-phosphopantothein through a serine residue. This complex is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and is involved in the reaction of transfer of acyl groups to the pantothenic ring molecule.

For the biosynthesis of fatty acids, both acyl-transfer proteins and trans-acylases are required. Trans-acylases catalyze reactions that transfer acyl groups from acylcarboxylic acids to the pantothenic ring molecule, while acyl-transfer proteins ensure the transfer of acyl groups from pantothenic ring molecules to trans-acylase molecules.

Due to their role in fat biosynthesis, acyl transfer proteins are important molecular components for the regulation of fat metabolism in the body. Their imbalance can lead to disruption of lipid metabolism and the development of various diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.

Currently, research is ongoing in the field of acyl-transfer proteins, aimed at improving their function and application in the treatment of various diseases. For example, it has been found that mutations in the genes encoding these proteins can lead to disorders of lipid metabolism in patients with hereditary diseases.

Thus, acyl-transfer proteins play an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and are promising molecular targets for the development of new treatments for various metabolic diseases.



Acyl carrier proteins, also known as ACAM (Acyl Coa carrier component), are proteins involved in the synthesis of fats and vitamins in the body. They consist of amino acids covalently linked to phospholipids such as phosphodiesters or phosphoglycerols. Acyl transport proteins are present in a variety of tissues, including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and adrenal glands.

Acyl-transferred proteins are necessary for the metabolism of fatty acids, which are the basis of the energy reserves of the human body. Although the synthesis of these proteins begins during pregnancy, their activity decreases with age. This can lead to various diseases in older adults, including diabetes and cancer. Therefore, control over the activity of acyl transfer proteins can become an effective tool for the prevention and treatment of such diseases.

The synthesis of Acyl-transported proteins occurs in lysosomes, small vesicles located in many cells. These proteins play an important role in obtaining energy from food through fat synthesis. During this process, they bind to fat-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, and convert them into fatty acids.

Typically, vitamins are involved in the regulation of blood sugar levels, the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, and are also involved in the metabolism of calcium, magnesium and iron. But very rarely these relationships are affected in people's illnesses. Due to the absence of these reactions, most of the beneficial properties are lost, often without changing the amount of elements
