Abstract Malonyl-CoA, a product of acetyl-CoA carboxylase is metabolic intermediate in lipogenic tissues that include liver and adipose tissue, where it involved the de novo fatty acid synthesis elongation. Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MLYCD, E.C.4.1.1.9), 55-kDa enzyme catalyses conversion malonyl-CoA to carbon dioxide, thus providing route for disposal from mitochondria peroxisomes, whereas cytosol, pool regulated by balance MLYCD activities. So far, 34 cases with different gene defects...

Abstract Background Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is an uncommon cholestatic liver disease caused by mutations in the ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4 (ABCB4) gene. Although PFIC3 frequently identified childhood, ABCB4 disease-causing alleles have been described adults affected of pregnancy, hormone-induced cholestasis, low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis syndrome or juvenile cholelithiasis, cholangiocarcinoma and sporadic forms primary biliary...
