Background:

The mitochondrial β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids is initiated by the sequential action of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I (outer membrane and detergent labile) and II (inner membrane and detergent stable), together with carnitine carrier. CPTI catalyzes the first reaction in the transport of long-chain fatty acids from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrion, a rate-limiting step in beta-oxidation. Two types of CPTI are known, the liver (CPTIA) and muscle (CPTIB) isoforms. The muscle type protein is specially expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Membrane-bound CPTI, but not CPTII, is inhibited reversibly by malonyl-coenzyme A (CoA). Unlike CPTII, CPTI requires membrane integrity for catalytic function. In addition, glutamic acid 3 and histidine 5 are necessary for malonyl CoA inhibition and binding to liver CPTI, but not for catalytic activity.

Specificity:

CPT2 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of CPT2 protein.
