22.5 Acetyl CoA Carboxylase Plays a Key Role in Controlling Fatty Acid Metabolism

Acetyl CoA Hormone Regulation

Glucagon, epinephrine, and insulin

Insulin stimulates fatty acid synth by activating carboxylase, whereas glucagon and epinephrine have the reverse effect

//Active carboxylase - Dephosphorylated

AMPK phosphorylates it. AMPK is activated by AMP and inhibited by ATP. Carboxylase inactivated when E charge is low
