Palmitic acid is the first fatty acid produced during lipogenesis and from which longer fatty acids can be produced. Palmitate negatively feeds back on acetyl-CoA carboxylase which is responsible for converting acetyl-ACP to malonyl-ACP on the growing acyl chain, thus preventing further palmitate generation. It is used as a food additive and emollient or surfactant in cosmetics.
