| acetyl-CoA carboxylase | <enzyme> A carboxylating enzyme that catalyses the conversion of ATP, acetyl-CoA, and hco3- to ADP, orthophosphate, and malonyl-CoA. It is a biotinyl-protein that also catalyses transcarboxylation. The plant enzyme also carboxylates propanoyl-CoA and butanoyl-CoA Chemical name: Acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.4.1.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
