What Does BCCP Stand For?

BCCP stands for Biotin Carboxyl Carrier Protein

BCCP, or Biotin Carboxyl Carrier Protein, is a key component of the multienzyme complex involved in fatty acid synthesis and metabolism. It acts as a carrier for biotin, a vital cofactor that facilitates essential carboxylation reactions. BCCP is critical for the enzymatic activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, contributing to the regulation of lipid biosynthesis and energy metabolism in various biological systems.
