CPT1A

Basic Info

Synonyms
Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 1, liver isoform, Carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase I, liver isoform, Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A
+ [7]
Introduction
Catalyzes the transfer of the acyl group of long-chain fatty acid-CoA conjugates onto carnitine, an essential step for the mitochondrial uptake of long-chain fatty acids and their subsequent beta-oxidation in the mitochondrion (PubMed:11350182, PubMed:14517221, PubMed:16651524, PubMed:9691089). Possesses also a lysine succinyltransferase activity that can regulate enzymatic activity of substrate proteins such as ENO1 and metabolism independent of its classical carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase activity (PubMed:29425493). Plays an important role in hepatic triglyceride metabolism (By similarity). Plays also a role in inducible regulatory T-cell (iTreg) differentiation once activated by butyryl-CoA that antagonizes malonyl-CoA-mediated CPT1A repression (By similarity). Sustains the IFN-I response by recruiting ZDHCC4 to palmitoylate MAVS at the mitochondria leading to MAVS stabilization and activation (PubMed:38016475). Promotes ROS-induced oxidative stress in liver injury via modulation of NFE2L2 and NLRP3-mediated signaling pathways (By similarity).
