This enzyme has a molecular mass of about 74 kDa and facilitates the conversion of acetoacetate into acetoacetyl-CoA. AACS expression is noticeable in tissues like the liver and brain where high energy demand exists. By helping in ketone body utilization AACS provides an important link in energy metabolism pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAcetoacetyl-CoA synthetase contributes significantly to lipid synthesis and energy production processes. It activates acetoacetate to form acetoacetyl-CoA an essential intermediate in cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis. Acetoacetyl-CoA plays an important role acting in sequential steps with acetyl-CoA and other enzymes to form more complex lipid molecules although the AACS enzyme does not form a complex itself.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe role of AACS connects particularly to the ketone body and the acetyl-CoA biosynthetic pathways. AACS facilitates acetoacetate utilization in the aforementioned pathways enabling energy generation alongside enzymes such as HMG-CoA synthase and fatty acid synthase. The interaction among these enzymes highlights the integration of ketone metabolism within broader metabolic networks.\u003cbr\u003e\nFaulty AACS functions have links to metabolic syndromes like diabetes and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. In diabetes improper ketone body utilization can lead to metabolic imbalance potentially involving enzymes like insulin receptor kinases. Within Alzheimer's disease deviances in lipid synthesis pathways where AACS is involved can contribute to disease progression due to altered energy metabolism in brain tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854025019561,"sku":"ab237802","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab237802","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
