Acacb Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables biotin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; intracellular aspartate homeostasis; and intracellular glutamate homeostasis. Part of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation multienzyme complex. Used to study steatotic liver disease. Biomarker of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and obesity. Orthologous to human ACACB (acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Acacb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
