The synthesis of palmitic acid, a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid, occurs through a process called fatty acid synthesis, which primarily takes place in the cytoplasm. This process involves the repetitive addition of two-carbon units to an acyl carrier protein (ACP)-bound intermediate, with acetyl-CoA serving as the starting point. The synthesis of palmitic acid requires multiple steps. First, acetyl-CoA is carboxylated to form malonyl-CoA, a reaction catalyzed by acetyl-CoA
