Malignant tissues exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Most cases of lung and skin cancers were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MLYCD (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
hMCD, MCD
Description
Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The product of this gene catalyzes the breakdown of malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide. Malonyl-CoA is an intermediate in fatty acid biosynthesis, and also inhibits the transport of fatty acyl CoAs into mitochondria. Consequently, the encoded protein acts to increase the rate of fatty acid oxidation. It is found in mitochondria, peroxisomes, and the cytoplasm. Mutations in this gene result in malonyl-CoA decarboyxlase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
