acetyl CoA carboxylase

0.03 sec.

a biotin-containing enzyme which participates in the synthesis of fatty acids by catalyzing the carboxylation reaction in which acetyl-CoA is converted to malonyl-CoA. It has the important effect of regulating the rate of fatty acid synthesis and is itself influenced in its activity by the local concentration of magnesium, citrate, palmitylcarnitine and ATP and is stimulated by the action of insulin.

acetyl-CoA carboxylase			Phosphorylation of both acetyl CoA carboxylase and AMP-activated protein kinase was increased, thus explaining the increase in fatty acid oxidation. Rapid transformation of white adipocytes into fat-oxidizing machines by Life Extension It is an important cofactor to several enzymes, including acetyl CoA carboxylase and other carboxylases. Observations on multivitamins by Holt, Stephen / Townsend Letter These include acetyl CoA carboxylase, the rate limiting enzyme that initiates fatty acid synthesis.
