Gene: ACACA
Official Full Name: acetyl-CoA carboxylase alphaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a complex multifunctional enzyme system. ACC is a biotin-containing enzyme which catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the rate-limiting step in fatty acid synthesis. There are two ACC forms, alpha and beta, encoded by two different genes. ACC-alpha is highly enriched in lipogenic tissues. The enzyme is under long term control at the transcriptional and translational levels and under short term regulation by the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of targeted serine residues and by allosteric transformation by citrate or palmitoyl-CoA. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants divergent in the 5' sequence and encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACACA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models in which the acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACACA) gene has been selectively disrupted. ACACA plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism, catalyzing the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, a precursor for fatty acid synthesis. By generating knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively study the downstream metabolic consequences of ACACA deficiency and the implications for cellular functions, such as energy expenditure, lipid biogenesis, and glucose homeostasis.
The cutting-edge mechanisms employed in the development of these knockout lines typically utilize CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows for precise and efficient gene editing. This precise approach enables the targeted ablation of the ACACA gene without affecting adjacent genomic sequences, providing a reliable model for analyzing the gene's role in metabolic pathways. The resultant cell lines are invaluable tools for elucidating the molecular interactions and regulatory mechanisms involved in metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
The scientific importance of ACACA Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to various applications in both research and clinical settings. They serve as instrumental platforms for drug discovery, toxicology screening, and investigating therapeutic interventions targeted at metabolic disorders. Compared to conventional genetic manipulation techniques, these knockout cell lines offer improved specificity, reproducibility, and ease of use, significantly enhancing the reliability of experimental outcomes.
Researchers and clinicians seeking to advance their insights into lipid metabolism and its implications for human health will find these cell lines particularly valuable. Their robust performance, coupled with detailed phenotypic characterization, allows for high-resolution studies that can inform therapeutic strategies.
