title: Effect of pH on malonyl-CoA inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I.
abstract: Malonyl-CoA inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I was found to be very pH-dependent. Malonyl-CoA concentrations causing 50% inhibition (I50) at pH 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 were 0.04, 1, 9, 40 and 200 microM respectively. It is suggested that a lowering of intracellular pH, such as might occur in ketoacidosis, may attenuate hepatic fatty acid oxidation by increasing malonyl-CoA sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I.
