Gene information for CPT1B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1375
Official gene symbolCPT1B
Full namecarnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (muscle)
Aliases,CPT1-M,CPT1M,CPTI,FLJ55729,FLJ58750,KIAA1670,M-CPT1,MCCPT1,MCPT1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene, a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family, is the rate-controlling enzyme of the long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway in muscle mitochondria. This enzyme is required for the net transport of long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and read-through transcripts are expressed from the upstream locus that include exons from this gene.
