QuickView for CPT2 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

CPT2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2

Synonyms:

CPT1, CPTASE, IIAE4, carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial, CPT II, carnitine palmitoyltransferase II, testicular secretory protein Li 13

Genomic Location:

Chr 1: 53434689-53452455

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein which is transported to the mitochondrial inner membrane. Together with carnitine palmitoyltransferase I, the encoded protein oxidizes long-chain fatty acids in the mitochondria. Defects in this gene are associated with mitochondrial long-chain fatty-acid (LCFA) oxidation disorders.
