The formation from simpler components of a fatty acid, any of the aliphatic monocarboxylic acids that can be liberated by hydrolysis from naturally occurring fats and oils. Fatty acids are predominantly straight-chain acids of 4 to 24 carbon atoms, which may be saturated or unsaturated; branched fatty acids and hydroxy fatty acids also occur, and very long chain acids of over 30 carbons are found in waxes.

The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a myoblast cell.

The metabolic oxidation of a long-chain fatty acid by successive cycles of reactions during each of which the fatty acid is shortened by a two-carbon fragment removed as acetyl coenzyme A.

The process by which a fatty acid becomes unsaturated (containing double bonds), for example by removal of two hydrogen atoms, or a hydrogen atom and a hydroxyl group, from adjacent carbon atoms.

The process aimed at the progression of the myoblast over time, from its formation to the mature structure.

The chemical reactions involving acyl-CoA, any derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is in thioester linkage with a fatty-acyl group.

Interacting selectively with single-stranded DNA.

The process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a myoblast cell. This process is independent of morphogenetic change.

The chemical reactions involving neutral lipids, lipids only soluble in solvents of very low polarity.

The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of a cytoskeletal structure.

The chemical reactions involving acylglycerol, any mono-, di- or triester of glycerol with (one or more) fatty acids.

The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix.

Catalysis of the reaction: D-glucuronyl-N-acetyl-1,3-beta-D-galactosaminylproteoglycan + UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine = N-acetyl-D-galactosaminyl-1,4-beta-D-glucuronyl-N-acetyl-1,3-beta-D-galactosaminylproteoglycan + UDP.

Combining with activin, one of two gonadal glycoproteins related to transforming growth factor beta, to initiate a change in cell activity.
