Carnitine O-Octanoyltransferase (CROT) Antibody, Abbexa, abx034347

CROT encodes a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family. The encoded protein converts 4, 8-dimethylnonanoyl-CoA to its corresponding carnitine ester. This transesterification occurs in the peroxisome and is necessary for transport of medium and long chain acyl-CoA molecules out of the peroxisome to the cytosol and mitochondria. The protein thus plays a role in lipid metabolism and fatty acid beta-oxidation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
