Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a complex multifunctional
enzyme system. ACC is a biotin-containing enzyme which catalyzes
the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the rate-limiting
step in fatty acid synthesis. There are two ACC forms, alpha and
beta, encoded by two different genes. ACC-alpha is highly enriched
in lipogenic tissues. The enzyme is under long term control at the
transcriptional and translational levels and under short term
regulation by the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of targeted
serine residues and by allosteric transformation by citrate or
palmitoyl-CoA. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants
divergent in the 5' sequence and encoding distinct isoforms have
been found for this gene.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
