Gene information for CRAT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1384
Official gene symbolCRAT
Full namecarnitine O-acetyltransferase
Aliases,CAT1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes carnitine acetyltransferase (CRAT), which is a key enzyme in the metabolic pathway in mitochondria, peroxisomes and endoplasmic reticulum. CRAT catalyzes the reversible transfer of acyl groups from an acyl-CoA thioester to carnitine and regulates the ratio of acylCoA/CoA in the subcellular compartments. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants; additional transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
