Enables acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity. Involved in several processes, including malonyl-CoA biosynthetic process; negative regulation of fatty acid beta-oxidation; and positive regulation of heart growth. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in axial skeleton; cranium; and liver. Orthologous to human ACACB (acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta).
