CPT1A (Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 1, Liver Isoform, CPT1-L, Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase I, Liver Isoform, CPTI-L, CPT I, Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 1A, CPT1) (AP)

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. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not...
