Gene information for MLYCD (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23417
Official gene symbolMLYCD
Full namemalonyl-CoA decarboxylase
Aliases,MCD,MGC59795,
Gene summaryThe product of this gene catalyzes the breakdown of malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide. Malonyl-CoA is an intermediate in fatty acid biosynthesis, and also inhibits the transport of fatty acyl CoAs into mitochondria. Consequently, the encoded protein acts to increase the rate of fatty acid oxidation. It is found in mitochondria, peroxisomes, and the cytoplasm. Mutations in this gene result in malonyl-CoA decarboyxlase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq]
