Protein name Carnitine O-acetyltransferase (Carnitine acetylase) (EC 2.3.1.137) (EC 2.3.1.7) (Carnitine acetyltransferase) (CAT) (CrAT)
Protein function Catalyzes the reversible transfer of acyl groups from carnitine to coenzyme A (CoA) and regulates the acyl-CoA/CoA ratio. Also plays a crucial role in the transport of fatty acids for beta-oxidation (PubMed:15099582, PubMed:29395073). Responsibl
