acetyl-CoA carboxylase complex

Also known as GO:0009317, ACCase complex, Acetyl-CoA carboxylase, acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)

protein complex that catalyzes the first step in long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis. For example, in E. coli the complex is heterohexameric and composed of biotin carbonyl carrier protein, biotin carboxylase and the acetate CoA-transferase complex
