carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase

carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase
car·ni·tine O-pal·mi·to·yl·trans·fer·ase (kahrґnĭ-tēn pahl″mĭ-to″əl-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.3.1.21] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the transfer between coenzyme A and carnitine of long chain fatty acids. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I transfers the fatty acid to carnitine; the acyl carnitine can then traverse the inner mitochondrial membrane. Once in the matrix, the fatty acid is transferred from carnitine back to coenzyme A by carnitine palmitoyltransferase II; the resultant acyl coenzyme A is a substrate for oxidation. Deficiency of the enzyme is a cause of defective fatty acid oxidation. Written also carnitine palmityltransferase.
