1 We show that CrAT converts short- and medium-chain acyl-CoAs (C2 to C10-CoA), whereas no activity was observed with long-chain species. Acyl Coenzyme A carnitine O-acetyltransferase 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 O-acetyltransferase Homo sapiens
