Mechanically it catalyzes the biotin-dependent carboxylation of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) to produce malonyl-CoA which is an important precursor in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. The molecular weight of ACC is approximately 265 kDa. Humans express this enzyme in multiple tissues such as the liver adipose tissue and mammary glands.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAcetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase contributes to fatty acid synthesis and regulation of metabolism. ACC exists in two main isoforms ACC1 which is found mainly in lipogenic tissues and ACC2 which is associated with oxidative tissues. These isoforms form part of larger complexes within the cell interacting with other enzymes and proteins to regulate metabolic processes. ACC also affects the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids by regulating the amount of malonyl-CoA available as a building block.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAcetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase plays a role in the synthesis of fatty acids and their cellular metabolism. This enzyme is a component of the lipogenesis pathway where it transforms acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA a step critical for fatty acid elongation. ACC interacts with proteins such as fatty acid synthase to carry out its function within these metabolic pathways. Additionally malonyl-CoA produced by ACC serves as a regulator of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 integrating with the fatty acid oxidation pathway.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlterations in the function of acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase link to conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Overexpression of ACC can result in increased fat storage contributing to obesity while its inhibition has been considered a strategy to counter insulin resistance in diabetes. In cancer dysregulation of ACC especially ACC1 can lead to altered lipid synthesis promoting tumor growth. ACC1 interacts with other proteins such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) which senses energy status and is involved in the regulation of ACC activity thereby influencing these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848650543273,"sku":"ab72046","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab72046","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
