Myristic acid

Description

Myristic acid, also known as tetradecanoic acid or C14:0, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. Myristic acid (its ester is called myristate) is a saturated fatty acid that has 14 carbons; as such, it is a very hydrophobic molecule that is practically insoluble in water. It exists as an oily white crystalline solid. Myristic acid is found in all living organisms ranging from bacteria to plants to animals, and is found in most animal and vegetable fats, particularly butterfat, as well as coconut, palm, and nutmeg oils. Industrially, myristic acid is used to synthesize a variety of flavour compounds and as an ingredient in soaps and cosmetics (Dorland, 28th ed). Within eukaryotic cells, myristic acid is also commonly conjugated to a penultimate N-terminal glycine residue in receptor-associated kinases to confer membrane localization of these enzymes (a post-translational modification called myristoylation via the enzyme N-myristoyltransferase). Myristic acid has a high enough hydrophobicity to allow the myristoylated protein to become incorporated into the fatty acyl core of the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. Also, this fatty acid is known because it accumulates as fat in the body; however, its consumption also impacts positively on cardiovascular health (see, for example, PMID: 15936650 ). Myristic acid is named after the scientific name for nutmeg, Myristica fragrans, from which it was first isolated in 1841 by Lyon Playfair.

Enzymes

Enzyme Details

1. Fatty acid synthase

General function:: Involved in transferase activity
Specific function:: Fatty acid synthetase catalyzes the formation of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and NADPH. This multifunctional protein has 7 catalytic activities and an acyl carrier protein.
Gene Name:: FASN
Uniprot ID:: P49327
Molecular weight:: 273424.06

Reactions

Tetradecanoyl-[acp] + Water → Acyl-carrier protein + Myristic acid	details

Enzyme Details

2. Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in phospholipase A2 activity
Specific function:: PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. This isozyme hydrolyzes more efficiently L-alpha-1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine than L-alpha-1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine, L-alpha-1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylethanolamine, or L-alpha-1-stearoyl-2-arachidonyl phosphatidylinositol. May be involved in the production of lung surfactant, the remodeling or regulation of cardiac muscle.
Gene Name:: PLA2G5
Uniprot ID:: P39877
Molecular weight:: 15674.065

Enzyme Details

3. Group IIF secretory phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in phospholipase A2 activity
Specific function:: PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Hydrolyzes phosphatidylglycerol versus phosphatidylcholine with a 15-fold preference.
Gene Name:: PLA2G2F
Uniprot ID:: Q9BZM2
Molecular weight:: 23256.29

Enzyme Details

4. Cytosolic phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in metabolic process
Specific function:: Selectively hydrolyzes arachidonyl phospholipids in the sn-2 position releasing arachidonic acid. Together with its lysophospholipid activity, it is implicated in the initiation of the inflammatory response.
Gene Name:: PLA2G4A
Uniprot ID:: P47712
Molecular weight:: 85210.19

Enzyme Details

5. Phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in phospholipase A2 activity
Specific function:: PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.
Gene Name:: PLA2G1B
Uniprot ID:: P04054
Molecular weight:: 16359.535

Enzyme Details

6. Group 10 secretory phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in phospholipase A2 activity
Specific function:: PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Has a powerful potency for releasing arachidonic acid from cell membrane phospholipids. Prefers phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine liposomes to those of phosphatidylserine.
Gene Name:: PLA2G10
Uniprot ID:: O15496
Molecular weight:: 18153.04

Enzyme Details

7. Galactoside-binding soluble lectin 13

General function:: Involved in sugar binding
Specific function:: Has lysophospholipase activity.
Gene Name:: LGALS13
Uniprot ID:: Q9UHV8
Molecular weight:: 16118.44

Enzyme Details

8. Group IIE secretory phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in phospholipase A2 activity
Specific function:: PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Has a preference for arachidonic-containing phospholipids.
Gene Name:: PLA2G2E
Uniprot ID:: Q9NZK7
Molecular weight:: 15988.525

Enzyme Details

9. Group XIIA secretory phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in phospholipase A2 activity
Specific function:: PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Does not exhibit detectable activity toward sn-2-arachidonoyl- or linoleoyl-phosphatidylcholine or -phosphatidylethanolamine.
Gene Name:: PLA2G12A
Uniprot ID:: Q9BZM1
Molecular weight:: 21066.99

Enzyme Details

10. 85/88 kDa calcium-independent phospholipase A2

General function:: Involved in metabolic process
Specific function:: Catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids. It has been implicated in normal phospholipid remodeling, nitric oxide-induced or vasopressin-induced arachidonic acid release and in leukotriene and prostaglandin production. May participate in fas mediated apoptosis and in regulating transmembrane ion flux in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Has a role in cardiolipin (CL) deacylation. Required for both speed and directionality of monocyte MCP1/CCL2-induced chemotaxis through regulation of F-actin polymerization at the pseudopods. Isoform ankyrin-iPLA2-1 and isoform ankyrin-iPLA2-2, which lack the catalytic domain, are probably involved in the negative regulation of iPLA2 activity.
Gene Name:: PLA2G6
Uniprot ID:: O60733
Molecular weight:: 84092.635

Transporters

Enzyme Details

1. Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 1

General function:: Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:: Involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids (LFCA) across the plasma membrane. The LFCA import appears to be hormone-regulated in a tissue-specific manner. In adipocytes, but not myocytes, insulin induces a rapid translocation of FATP1 from intracellular compartments to the plasma membrane, paralleled by increased LFCA uptake. May act directly as a bona fide transporter, or alternatively, in a cytoplasmic or membrane- associated multimeric protein complex to trap and draw fatty acids towards accumulation. Plays a pivotal role in regulating available LFCA substrates from exogenous sources in tissues undergoing high levels of beta-oxidation or triglyceride synthesis. May be involved in regulation of cholesterol metabolism. Has acyl-CoA ligase activity for long-chain and very-long-chain fatty acids
Gene Name:: SLC27A1
Uniprot ID:: Q6PCB7
