Biological function summary
MLYCD converts malonyl-CoA an inhibitor of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation into acetyl-CoA. This conversion permits fatty acids to enter mitochondria for beta-oxidation. It is not typically part of larger protein complexes but can interact with other molecules regulating lipid metabolism. Through these interactions it indirectly influences cellular energy balance and lipid biosynthesis.
Pathways
MLYCD is involved in the fatty acid metabolism pathway and energy homeostasis. Within these it serves as a regulatory point influencing the balance between fat utilization and storage. MLYCD maintains balance alongside proteins such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) which controls the entry of fatty acids into mitochondria for beta-oxidation linking these pathways.

General info
Function
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.
Post-translational modifications
Acetylation at Lys-472 activates malonyl-CoA decarboxylase activity. Deacetylation at Lys-472 by SIRT4 represses activity, leading to promote lipogenesis (By similarity).. Interchain disulfide bonds may form in peroxisomes (Potential). Interchain disulfide bonds are not expected to form in the reducing environment of the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
