Acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which catalyzes synthesis of malonyl-CoA, is only regulated by enzyme in fatty acid synthesis. Its regulation involves both allosteric control and covalent modification. The enzyme is known to be phosphorylated by both AMP Kinase and Protein Kinase A.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the synthesis of malonyl-CoA, the first committed reaction of fatty acid biosynthesis.

The key enzyme is acetyl-CoA carboxylase, because the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl CoA is the committed step.

By removing one carbon from pyruvate at the some time relating the remaining two carbon with coA.

Acetyl coa carboxylase is involved to conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Coa.
