Which of the following enzyme is not a
component of fatty acid synthase
complex?
a) Acetyl Co-A carboxylase
b) Ketoacyl synthase
c) Enoyl reductase
d) Acetoacetyl
Correct Answer - A
The Fatty Acid Synthase Complex Is a Homodimer of Two
Polypeptide Chains Containing Six Enzyme Activities and the Acyl
Carrier Protein.
The 6 enzymes are-
Ketoacyl synthase
Ketoacyl reductase
Malonyl transacylase
Dehydratase
Enoyl reductase
Thioesterase
Acetyl Co-A carboxylase is the rate-limiting enzyme of fatty acid
synthesis and is an enzyme, which is not a component of fatty acid
synthase complex.
