ACACB wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ACACB wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12q24.11 and is approximately 157 kb in length. This allele, which encodes acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 protein, is involved in the formation of malonyl-CoA via a 2-step process that starts with the carboxylation of biotin and is followed by transfer of that carboxyl group from biotin to acetyl-CoA.
