CAS 9029-90-7
:Carnitine acetyltransferase
Description:
Carnitine acetyltransferase, with the CAS number 9029-90-7, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fatty acids. It catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to carnitine, forming acetylcarnitine, which facilitates the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. This enzyme is primarily found in tissues with high energy demands, such as the heart and skeletal muscles. It is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism and is essential for maintaining cellular energy homeostasis. The activity of carnitine acetyltransferase can be influenced by various factors, including the availability of substrates and the metabolic state of the cell. Dysregulation of this enzyme may be associated with metabolic disorders, highlighting its importance in biochemical pathways. Overall, carnitine acetyltransferase is a vital component in the interplay between lipid metabolism and energy production in aerobic organisms.
