The existence of acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase in rat brain cytosol is reported. The coupling of this enzyme with cytosolic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase can provide acetyl-CoA for lipogenesis and cholesterol synthesis without the need for mitochondrial participation. This new route for acetoacetate utilization may be important in developing brain.
据报道,大鼠脑细胞溶胶中存在乙酰乙酰辅酶A合成酶。该酶与细胞溶胶中的乙酰乙酰辅酶A硫解酶偶联,可为脂肪生成和胆固醇合成提供乙酰辅酶A,而无需线粒体参与。这种新的乙酰乙酸利用途径在发育中的大脑中可能很重要。
