Description
Product Characteristics:
The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein which is transported to the mitochondrial inner membrane. Together with carnitine palmitoyltransferase I, the encoded protein oxidizes long-chain fatty acids in the mitochondria. Defects in this gene are associated with mitochondrial long-chain fatty-acid (LCFA) oxidation disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: CPT1, IIAE4, CPTASE, Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial, Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II, CPT II, CPT2
