Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase (also called carnitine palmitoyltransferase or carnitine acyltransferase) is a mitochondrial transferase enzyme (EC 2.3.1.21) involved in the metabolism of palmitoylcarnitine into palmitoyl-CoA. In Cell biology, a mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a membrane-enclosed Organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. In Biochemistry, a transferase is an Enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a Functional group (e Enzymes are Biomolecules that catalyze ( ie increase the rates of Chemical reactions Almost all enzymes are Proteins This article is about the Enzyme Commission codes For the European Commission system for coding chemicals see EC-No. Palmitoylcarnitine is an Ester derivative of Carnitine involved in the metabolism of Fatty acids.
