Which of the following does NOT affect the regulation of fatty acid synthesis in humans?
A)malonyl-CoA binding to carnitine acyltransferase and inhibiting available substrate for ?-oxidation
B)acyl-CoAs as inhibitors of acetyl-CoA carboxylase
C)insulin receptor binding maintaining acetyl-CoA carboxylase in the inactive form
D)glucagon promoting phosphorylation and inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin receptor binding actually activates acetyl-CoA carboxylase by promoting its dephosphorylation, which is contrary to maintaining it in the inactive form. This enzyme is crucial for the first step in fatty acid synthesis, converting acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA.
