Acety-CoA carboxytransferase (known also as accAD and N6-carboxybiotinyl-L-lysine:acetyl-CoA:carboxytransferase) is a transferase enzyme that catalyses the transfer of a carboxyl group from a biotinylated biotin carboxyl carrier protein (abbrev. BCCP) to acetyl-CoA (acetyl-Coenzyme A), yielding malonyl-CoA.[1] In some species, this is part of a multi-domain protein that also has the carrier protein as well as biotin carboxylase. Some enzymes can also carry out the carboxylation of propanonyl-CoA and butanoyl-CoA.[2] The enzyme catalyzes the following reaction,
The enzyme is involved in several biochemical pathways, including the 3-hydroxypropanoate cycle, 4-hydroxybutanate cycle, the assembly of biotin-carboxyl carrier proteins, candicidin biosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis and glyoxylate assimilation.[3]
