UniProtKB - O95822 (DCMC_HUMAN)

Protein

Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase, mitochondrial

Gene

MLYCD

Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: -Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Catalyzes the conversion of malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA. In the fatty acid biosynthesis MCD selectively removes malonyl-CoA and thus assures that methyl-malonyl-CoA is the only chain elongating substrate for fatty acid synthase and that fatty acids with multiple methyl side chains are produced. In peroxisomes it may be involved in degrading intraperoxisomal malonyl-CoA, which is generated by the peroxisomal beta-oxidation of odd chain-length dicarboxylic fatty acids. Plays a role in the metabolic balance between glucose and lipid oxidation in muscle independent of alterations in insulin signaling. May play a role in controlling the extent of ischemic injury by promoting glucose oxidation.4 Publications

Catalytic activityi

Malonyl-CoA = acetyl-CoA + CO2.5 Publications

Activity regulationi

Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase activity does not require any cofactors or divalent metal ions. Formation of interchain disulfide bonds leads to positive cooperativity between active sites and increases the affinity for malonyl-CoA and the catalytic efficiency (in vitro).2 Publications

Kineticsi

kcat is 19 sec(-1) with malonyl-CoA for malonyl-CoA decarboxylase mitochondrial form (PubMed:15003260). kcat is 28 sec(-1) with malonyl-CoA for Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase cytoplasmic+peroxisomal form (PubMed:15003260). The catalytic efficiency for malonyl-CoA is at least 1.09-fold higher with the malonyl-CoA decarboxylase cytoplasmic+peroxisomal form (PubMed:15003260).1 Publication
