Background

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 also known as ACC-beta or ACC2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ACACB gene. It is mapped to 12q24.11. 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. ACC-beta is thought to control fatty acid oxidation by means of the ability of malonyl-CoA to inhibit carnitine-palmitoyl-CoA transferase I, the rate-limiting step in fatty acid uptake and oxidation by mitochondria. ACC-beta may be involved in the regulation of fatty acid oxidation, rather than fatty acid biosynthesis. There is evidence for the presence of two ACC-beta isoforms.

Function

Catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA (PubMed:20457939, PubMed:19236960, PubMed:20952656) . Carries out three functions: biotin carboxyl carrier protein, biotin carboxylase and carboxyltransferase (PubMed:20457939, PubMed:19236960, PubMed:20952656) . Involved in inhibition of fatty acid and glucose oxidation and enhancement of fat storage (By similarity) . May play a role in regulation of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation through malonyl-CoA-dependent inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (By similarity) .
