MCD Inhibits Lipid Deposition in Goat Intramuscular Preadipocytes.

ABSTRACT: Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD) is a major regulator of fatty acid oxidation catalyzing the decarboxylation of malonyl coenzyme A (malonyl-CoA). Although its involvement in human diseases has been well studied, its role in intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition remains unknown. In this present study, 1726 bp of MCD cDNA was cloned (OM937122) from goat liver, including 5'UTR of 27 bp, 3'UTR of 199 bp, and CDS of 1500 bp, encoding 499 amino acids. In this present study, although the overexpression of MCD increased the mRNA expression of FASN and DGAT2, the expression of ATGL and ACOX1 was also activated significantly and resulted in a decrease in cellular lipid deposition in goat intramuscular preadipocytes. Meanwhile, the silencing of MCD
