The mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids is
initiated by the sequential action of carnitine
palmitoyltransferase I (which is located in the outer membrane and
is detergent-labile) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (which
is located in the inner membrane and is detergent-stable), together
with a carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. CPT I is the key enzyme
in the carnitine-dependent transport across the mitochondrial inner
membrane and its deficiency results in a decreased rate of fatty
acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants
encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Gessner, B.D., et al. Pediatrics 126(5):945-951(2010)
