carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 | Cytological Location | 1p32.3 |
Brief Description | carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 |
Description | 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] |
