This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of citrate into oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, a critical step in cellular metabolism. Acetyl-CoA serves as a central substrate for de novo synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids, linking the citric acid cycle to lipid biosynthesis. By facilitating this reaction, the enzyme plays a key role in energy homeostasis and the production of essential biomolecules necessary for cell growth, membrane formation, and metabolic regulation. Its activity underscores its importance in maintaining lipid and cholesterol synthesis pathways.
