Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the pivotal step of the fatty acid synthesis pathway. The 265kD ACCalpha (ACC1) is the predominant isoform found in liver, adipocytes and mammary gland, while the 280kD ACCbeta (ACC2) is the major isoform in skeletal muscle and heart (1). Phosphorylation by AMPK at Ser79 or by PKA at Ser1200 inhibits the enzymatic activity of ACC (2). ACC is a potential target of anti-obesity drugs (3,4).
