CPT1C( Human )
carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C
Alias
CATL1|CPT1-B|CPT1P|CPTI-B|CPTIC|SPG73
This gene encodes a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. The encoded protein regulates the beta-oxidation and transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, and may play a role in the regulation of feeding behavior and whole-body energy homeostasis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple protein isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010].
