Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malonyl CoA is known to be a regulator of fatty acid oxidation. Specifically, it inhibits the entry of fatty acyl CoA into the mitochondria via its inhibition of CPT1 (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1), which is required for the transport of fatty acyl CoA into the mitochondria. This inhibition occurs when energy levels are high, indicating that there is an adequate supply of glucose as an energy source, and inhibiting fatty acid oxidation allows cells to prioritize glucose metabolism.
