sequestering of triglyceride
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The process of binding or confining any triester of glycerol such that it is separated from other components of a biological system. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732]
Triglyceride sequestration is a complex process involving multiple steps, primarily occurring in adipose tissue and liver. It begins with the uptake of free fatty acids (FFAs) from the bloodstream by adipocytes and hepatocytes. These FFAs are then activated by the enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase, using ATP to form fatty acyl-CoA. Glycerol-3-phosphate, derived from glucose metabolism or from the breakdown of dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is then combined with two molecules of fatty acyl-CoA by the enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase to form phosphatidic acid. This molecule then undergoes dephosphorylation by phosphatidic acid phosphatase to yield diacylglycerol. Finally, the third fatty acyl-CoA molecule is attached to diacylglycerol by diacylglycerol acyltransferase, resulting in the formation of triglyceride. This triglyceride molecule is then packaged into lipid droplets within the cell. These droplets act as storage depots for triglycerides, releasing them back into the bloodstream as needed to provide energy. This process is tightly regulated by various hormones and enzymes, ensuring the body has a readily available source of energy while also preventing excess accumulation of fat.'
