CPT2 carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2

Gene ID: 1376, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CPT1; IIAE4; CPTASE

Summary

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]
