CPT1A - carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A Gene
Also Known as CPT1; CPT1-L; L-CPT1
Species: Homo sapiens
About CPT1A
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 222 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 34.6), small intestine (RPKM 28.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids is initiated by the sequential action of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (which is located in the outer membrane and is detergent-labile) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (which is located in the inner membrane and is detergent-stable), together with a carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. CPT I is the key enzyme in the carnitine-dependent transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane and its deficiency results in a decreased rate of fatty acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
