Metabolite Identification

Common Name

Stearic acid

Description

Stearic acid, also known as stearate or 18:0, 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. Stearic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Stearic acid is a potentially toxic compound.

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

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

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
Molecular weight:: 71107.5
