Lipid Synthesis, Metabolism and Transport

  • Chapter
Book cover The Structure and Function of Plastids

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 23))

Chloroplasts harbor the enzymes of fatty acid de novo synthesis, and contain a unique set of glycerolipids which is different from yeast, animals and from most bacteria. Fatty acid synthesis in plastids depends on acyl carrier protein, and the acyl chains are directly incorporated into plastid lipids via the prokaryotic pathway or, after hydrolysis and export from the plastid, employed to synthesize eukaryotic lipids at the endoplasmic reticulum.
