Authentic Biochemistry

In this episode Dr Guerra provides a concise description of  T lymphocytic fatty acid synthesis from glucose via cytosolic glycolysis,  mitochondrialpyruvate dehydrogenase, pyruvate carboxylase, and citrate synthase and a return to the cytosol for ATP citrate lyase and the homodimeric polyprotein complex FAS to generate palmitoyl-ACP. This ability of  antigen-MHC Antigen Presenting Cell  TCR - activated T lymphocytes to prepare for massive cytokine and chemokine expression requires a biochemical poise to use newly synthesized intracellular triacylglycerol to drive cellular exapnsion and effector-mediated immune responses.
