    basic FUNCTION
  • cytoplasmic regulation of malonyl-CoA and their of mitochondrial fatty acid uptake and oxidation
  • peroxisome degrading intraperoxisome malonyl-CoA generated by the peroxisomal beta-oxidation of odd chain-length dicarboxylic fatty acid
  • potentially participating in the regulation of cytosolic malonyl-CoA levels and of hepatic fatty acid oxidation
  • key enzyme responsible for malonyl-CoA turnover and functions in the control of the balance between lipid and glucose metabolism
  • regulates fatty acid biosynthesis and converts malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA
