Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase

Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase (also called carnitine palmitoyltransferase) is a mitochondrial transferase enzyme () involved in the metabolism of palmitoylcarnitine into palmitoyl-CoA. A related transferase is carnitine acyltransferase.

Molecules

Human forms

There are four different forms of CPT in humans:

• CPT1A – associated with Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency
• CPT1B
• CPT1C
• CPT2 – associated with carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency
