Description
Alternative Products
Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=P50416-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=P50416-2; Sequence=VSP_012167;
Catalytic Activity
Palmitoyl-CoA + L-carnitine = CoA + L- palmitoylcarnitine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11350182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517221}.
Disease
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A deficiency (CPT1AD) [MIM:255120]: Rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder of long- chain fatty acid oxidation characterized by severe episodes of hypoketotic hypoglycemia usually occurring after fasting or illness. Onset is in infancy or early childhood. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11350182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11441142, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12189492, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517221, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15110323, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15669684, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9691089}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain
A conformation change in the N-terminal region spanning the first 42 residues plays an important role in the regulation of enzyme activity by malonyl-CoA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21990363}.
Enzyme Regulation
Inhibited by malonyl-CoA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517221}.
Function
Catalyzes the transfer of the acyl group of long-chain fatty acid-CoA conjugates onto carnitine, an essential step for the mitochondrial uptake of long-chain fatty acids and their subsequent beta-oxidation in the mitochondrion. Plays an important role in triglyceride metabolism.
Induction
Up-regulated by fatty acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16271724}.
Pathway
Lipid metabolism; fatty acid beta-oxidation.
Similarity
Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location
Mitochondrion outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11350182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517221}; Multi- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11350182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517221}.
Subunit
Homohexamer and homotrimer. Identified in a complex that contains at least CPT1A, ACSL1 and VDAC1. Also identified in complexes with ACSL1 and VDAC2 and VDAC3 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue Specificity
Strong expression in kidney and heart, and lower in liver and skeletal muscle.
