Name | ACACA (HGNC:84) |
---|---|
Synonyms | ACAC, ACC1, ACCA |
Function | Cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl- CoA to malonyl-CoA, the first and rate-limiting step of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis (PubMed:20952656, PubMed:20457939, PubMed:29899443). This is a 2 steps reaction starting with the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the biotin carried by the biotin carboxyl carrier (BCC) domain followed by the transfer of the carboxyl group from carboxylated biotin to acetyl-CoA (PubMed:20952656, PubMed:20457939, PubMed:29899443). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5SWU9} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, renal, pancreatic and adipose tissues; expressed at low level in pulmonary tissue; not detected in the liver |

Background
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a complex multifunctionalenzyme system. ACC is a biotin-containing enzyme which catalyzesthe carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the rate-limitingstep in fatty acid synthesis. There are two ACC forms, alpha andbeta, encoded by two different genes. ACC-alpha is highly enrichedin lipogenic tissues. The enzyme is under long term control at thetranscriptional and translational levels and under short termregulation by the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of targetedserine residues and by allosteric transformation by citrate orpalmitoyl-CoA. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variantsdivergent in the 5' sequence and encoding distinct isoforms havebeen found for this gene.
