CPT2

Chr 1

carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2

Also known as: CPT1, CPTASE, IIAE4

NCBI Gene: 1376ENSG00000157184UniProt: P23786

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]
