'''Acetyl-CoA carboxylase''' (ACC) catalyzes the irreversible carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. Malonyl-CoA is a building block in in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. ACC is biotin- and ATP-dependent enzyme. In mammals, 2 forms of ACC exist. ACC1 and ACC2 differ in their tissue distribution and function. | '''Acetyl-CoA carboxylase''' (ACC) catalyzes the irreversible carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA.
