ACC-α (Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase alpha) is a cytosolic isoform of ACC that is primarily involved in the regulation of fatty acid synthesis in lipogenic tissues, such as liver and adipose tissue. ACC-α is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of fatty acids, particularly in the context of de novo lipogenesis.
ACC is a biotin-containing enzyme that exists in two main isoforms: ACC-α and ACC-β.
Overexpression of ACC-α has been linked to increased fatty acid synthesis, which can contribute to cancer cell growth and survival.
ACC-β (Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase beta) is a mitochondrial isoform of ACC that is primarily involved in the regulation of fatty acid oxidation.
In general, high ACC expression is associated with:
- Poor prognosis
- Increased tumor size
- Metastasis
- Resistance to chemotherapy
-Poor response to treatment
Low ACC expression is associated with:
- Better prognosis
- Smaller tumor size
- Less metastasis
- Better response to chemotherapy
- Better response to treatment
