Therapeutic Target Details
Target ID: | T18 |
Target Name: | Acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 |
Synonyms: | ACC; ACC1; ACCA; ACC-alpha; ACAC; ACACA |
GENE: | ACACA |
Action: | inhibitor |
Class: | Enzyme |
UniProtKB ID: | Q13085 |
Entry Name: | ACACA_HUMAN |
Related Drugs: | Firsocostat |
Mechanism: | Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) catalyse the committed step in DNL through the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. Furthermore, the product of this reaction, malonyl-CoA, is a signalling molecule that suppresses fatty acid oxidation through the inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1. Thus, ACC inhibition could reduce hepatic lipid accumulation by suppressing DNL and stimulating fatty acid oxidation. ACC inhibitors improve hepatic steatosis and insulin sensitivity but increase plasma concentrations of triglyceride in mice, rats and humans. |
