Summary

Medium chain fatty acids synthesized ‘de novo’ by lactating goat mammary gland fatty acid synthetase can be incorporated directly into triacylglycerols in the absence of a fatty acid activation system.

The synthesis of medium chain fatty acids by goat mammary synthetase was dependent on the removal of the medium chain product from the enzyme complex. The removal of the product from the enzyme could be excecuted by the microsomal triacylglycerol synthesizing system.
