Also known as carnitine O-acetyltransferase, CAT1, CAT, NBIA8, Carnitine O-acetyltransferase, carnitine acetyltransferase, carnitine acetylase
protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
This gene encodes carnitine O-acetyltransferase, a member of the carnitine acyltransferase family and a key metabolic pathway enzyme which plays an important role in energy homeostasis and fat metabolism. This enzyme catalyzes the reversible transfer of acyl groups from an acyl-CoA thioester to carnitine and regulates the ratio of acyl-CoA/CoA. It is found in both the mitochondria and the peroxisome. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may localize to different subcellular compartments. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016].
