  • Title: Inhibition by acetyl-CoA of hepatic carnitine acyltransferase and fatty acid oxidation.
    Author: McCormick K, Notar-Francesco VJ, Sriwatanakul K.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1983 Nov 15; 216(2):499-502. PubMed ID: 6661211.
    Abstract:
    At micromolar concentrations, acetyl-CoA inhibited hepatic carnitine acyltransferase activity and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. The inhibitory effects were not nearly as potent on a molar basis as those of malonyl-CoA; nevertheless, the cytosolic concentrations of acetyl-CoA, as yet unknown, may be sufficient (greater than 30 microM) to curtail appreciably the mitochondrial transfer of long-chain acyl-CoA units and fatty acid oxidation. Hence acetyl-CoA may also partially regulate hepatic ketogenesis.
