1 CPT2 is part of the carnitine shuttle that is necessary to import fatty acids into mitochondria and catalyzes the conversion of acylcarnitines into acyl-CoAs. Acyl Coenzyme A carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
2 This suggests the existence of another enzyme able to handle the acyl-CoAs that are not substrates for CrAT and CPT2, but for which the corresponding acylcarnitines are well recognized as diagnostic markers in inborn errors of metabolism. Acyl Coenzyme A carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 Homo sapiens
