Evidence for two separate β-ketoacyl CoA reductase components of the hepatic microsomal fatty acid chain elongation system in the rat

The hepatic microsomal fatty acid chain elongation system can utilize either NADPH or NADH. Elongation activity, measured as the rate of malonyl CoA incorporation into palmitoyl CoA, was enhanced by a fat-free diet and by bovine serum albumin (BSA) when either cofactor was employed. When the interme...
