MCAT, Official Symbol MCATprovided by HGNC Official Full Name malonyl-CoA-acyl carrier protein transacylaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:29622 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000100294 MIM:614479; AllianceGenome:HGNC:29622 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as MT; MCT; MCT1; fabD; NET62; FASN2C Summary The protein encoded by this gene is found exclusively in the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the transfer of a malonyl group from malonyl-CoA to the mitochondrial acyl carrier protein. The encoded protein may be part of a fatty acid synthase complex that is more like the type II prokaryotic and plastid complexes rather than the type I human cytosolic complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
