The 19 pages that link to Fatty acid synthesis, each with the reason it gives.

• Fatty acidRelated: It makes new chains that can later enter lipids.

• Acetyl-CoARelated: Acetyl-CoA supplies the starting carbon, largely after conversion to malonyl-CoA.

• Beta oxidationCompared with: It runs in the opposite overall direction, extending rather than shortening carbon chains.

• NADPHRelated: Fatty-acid synthesis consumes NADPH to reduce growing carbon chains.

• Coenzyme ARelated: CoA delivers acetyl and malonyl groups used to initiate and extend fatty-acid chains.

• Pentose phosphate pathwayRelated: NADPH supports the reductive steps of fatty acid production.

• Lipid metabolismBroader topic: It makes fatty-acid chains that can be stored as fat or incorporated into complex lipids.

• CoenzymeRelated: Coenzyme A and NADPH supply building blocks and reducing power.

• Docosahexaenoic acidRelated: DHA production uses elongation and desaturation steps beyond ordinary fatty-acid synthesis.

• Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphateRelated: NADPH provides reducing equivalents for repeated chain-building reactions.

• BiosynthesisBroader topic: It converts small carbon units into the long chains used in lipids.

• Pyruvate carboxylaseRelated: Oxaloacetate production supports citrate export, which supplies cytosolic acetyl-CoA for synthesis.

• Pantothenic acidRelated: Acyl carrier protein uses its pantothenate-derived arm to handle intermediates in this pathway.

• TriclosanNarrower topic: Triclosan’s best-characterized antibacterial target lies in this pathway.

• Arachidic acidCompared with: It builds fatty acids, whereas beta-oxidation dismantles arachidic acid.

• Myristic acidNarrower topic: This pathway produces myristic acid as a 14-carbon intermediate.

• Behenic acidRelated: Elongation of shorter fatty acids can produce behenic acid in organisms.

• Combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduriaRelated: Malonate metabolism intersects with this pathway through malonyl-CoA.

• Pelargonic acidRelated: Plant production of fatty acids provides a biological context for pelargonic acid occurrence.
