Description

General description

Acetyl-CoA:carnitine O-acetyltransferase

Carnitine acetyltransferase is a mitochondrial enzyme essential for fuel utilization. It is present in the mitochondrial matrix and peroxisome. It is involved in the fatty acid metabolism. It facilitates conversion of acetyl-CoA and carnitine to acetylcarnitine and CoA respectively. This conversion facilitates peroxisomal β-oxidation by importing acetyl group for mitochondrial oxidation.

Physical form

Suspension in 2.9 M ammonium sulfate solution, 50 mM K-phosphate, 1 mM EDTA, pH approximately 7.5

Analysis Note

Contaminants: <0.01% acetyl-CoA-deacylase ion in storage buffer.
