Acetyl carboxylaseis globally regulated by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetyl carboxylase is primarily regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. When phosphorylated, it is inactive, and when dephosphorylated, it is active. This regulation allows for tight control of fatty acid synthesis in response to the energy needs of the cell. While allosteric inhibitors and activators can also play a role in regulating acetyl carboxylase, they are not as globally regulating as phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Zymogen activation and the binding of cAMP do not have a direct role in acetyl carboxylase regulation.
