Carnitine acyltransferases are a large family of enzymes that play a main role in cellular energy metabolism, i.e. fatty acid oxidation. These enzymes catalyze the reversible exchange of acyl groups between coenzyme A and carnitine. | Carnitine acyltransferases are a large family of enzymes that play a main role in cellular energy metabolism, i.e. fatty acid oxidation.

Carnitine acyltransferases include three different classes of enzymes which are known as carnitine acetyltransferases (CrATs), carnitine octanoyltransferases (CrOTs) and carnitine palmityltransferase (CPTs). The three classes differ in their acyl group specificity as well as their localization. | Carnitine acyltransferases include three different classes of enzymes which are known as carnitine acetyltransferases (CrATs), carnitine octanoyltransferases (CrOTs) and carnitine palmityltransferase (CPTs).
