Summary Introduction

To review:

The process of transfer of acetyl-CoA(coenzyme A) from mitochondria to the cytoplasm for fatty acid synthesis.

Introduction:

Acetyl-CoA is produced from pyruvate in the mitochondria by the enzyme, pyruvate dehydrogenase. Acetyl-CoA is the precursor for citric acid synthesis. This molecule also helps in fatty acid synthesis that takes place in the cytoplasm. In order to take part in the fatty acid synthesi, scetyl-CoA gets transported to cytoplasm from mitochondria.
