| Post Translational Modifications | The biotin cofactor is covalently attached to the central biotinyl-binding domain and is required for the catalytic activity. Phosphorylation at Ser-222 by AMPK inactivates the enzyme. Required for the maintenance of skeletal muscle lipid and glucose homeostasis. |
| Function | Mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA and plays a central role in fatty acid metabolism. Catalyzes 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. Through the production of malonyl-CoA that allosterically inhibits carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 at the mitochondria, negatively regulates fatty acid oxidation. Together with its cytosolic isozyme ACACA, which is involved in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, promotes lipid storage. |
