Background: Glycerol-3-phosphate (1)-acyltransferase(G3PAT) catalyzes the incorporation of an acyl group from either acyl-acyl carrier proteins (acylACPs) or acyl-CoAs into the sn-1 position of glycerol 3-phosphate to yield 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate...

In young expanding leaves of Brassica napus, the demand for fatty acids is met by de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid synthase components, as demonstrated by 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase. Using a novel radio-chemical assay for 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase and s...
